On our spring trip to Japan, we stayed in Tokyo, the Mt. Fuji region, and Kyoto, and while in Kyoto we had a day trip to Nara! We didn’t exactly spend a full 24 hours there, but we did have a great day exploring the city before returning to Kyoto that night. We were excited
When we went to Japan in March on our trip with Go Ahead, we had the option of having a full free day in Tokyo or we could go on a guided day trip to Kamakura. We opted to go to Kamakura! While we would have loved to have more time in Tokyo, I’m hopeful

It’s official! We’re returning to Spain this year! We both fell in love with Spain when we went to Barcelona five years ago and have been working on finding the right time to return and continue our exploration of this fabulous travel destination.
