BRSJ — Boogs ReSack Japan

Re-Discovering the Land of the Rising Sun: A Japan Adventure.

After a several year hiatus Sacking resumes.

Organized by the ever-resourceful Michelle, our group of eleven intrepid travelers embark on a cruise around Japan. Then off to a traditional Japanese craft village (thanks in large part to the input from the master collector George). Kanazawa follows for a couple of days. Then, in search of poetic inspiration, we hike in the footprints of the legendary haiku master Basho along this famed poetic trail.

A few days of jet lag recovery and discovery in Tokyo before cruise embarkation.

The cruise offers a “Meet Tokyo” excursion set. The first tour will visit the Japanese National Museum (six buildings) AND Ginza. In a half day. Hmm.

I hate to be nickeled and dimed. Flying JAL, very very expensive. That said: want almost $20 for wifi. JAL moves to the bottom of my preferred airlines; just hate to be squeezed by suppliers.
