Update 4/15/06:  I'm here!  It's 9:30 PM JST on April 15, happy Tax Day to you back in the States.  It was a long day, but JAL was great.  Since this is a working trip, not a vacation, I may not post something every day but for those days I do, you'll see it in the list below.  Starting... now.

Update 4/30/06: Today there are updates to the Toilets page, the full story about our trip to Kyoto on Saturday, and some notes on stuff we have seen today.  A few other items:  Jim's website can be found here at www.liesfromthetablecloth.com/japan/.  He has been doing extensive blogging of his experiences which you'll find interesting from a younger person's perspective.  You may also note his pages look similar to mine. :) Also, Narita Airport has a cool page for tracking all arriving and departing flights from their airport.  Check it out, see how much of a hub Narita really is (huge!) and how far away places like the US and Australia are (far!).

5/5/06:  There's a few updates today.  I also really have to give a hand to Wikipedia, whose site I have referenced shamelessly throughout this website.  It's a completely non-profit open encylopedia that has articles on just about everything.  I think they do a great job and they deserve a hand.  They could also use some funds so if you have the inclination, why not help them out?

5/14/06: I'm home, got home yesterday.  I'll do an update this week of some things from the final couple of days, but I was working so there's not a lot to say other than some things about the trip home. Check back for the report on what a small world this is...
