Wow, glad to see you made it safely and are having a great time! And I can't believe you haven't taken the camera with you yet - what's wrong with you? WE want to see Missy's home away from home too. I've never thought of Japan as "quaint" so get that camera out!

Boomie looks so comfy in your lap. I'm sure he'll be your best buddy by the end of your trip - but that will only make it harder to say goodbye.
