Creator's Key Takeaways

I found a cruise on an American cruise line that sailed to the countries that I wanted to visit and I thought that this would be a good compromise

I did enjoy the Excursion but it was very much you are here for an hour you are here for an hour you are here for an hour and with the humidity I'm just not used to that

It was at our sale away from Kumamoto where we had the most incredible drone show

Tokyo is everything that you are imagining right now it is bright it is loud it is busy it is so organized it is so clean

βœ“Buy a soda package if you don't drink alcohol to save money on drinks
βœ“Use Google Translate and hand signals to communicate in Japan
βœ“Carry cash in Japan as it is preferred in many places
