Matilda and I both getting very excited about Japan now.
For Tokyo we're staying in modern Western style hotel that's centrally located.
In Kyoto, though, we're staying in a Ryokan, which is a traditional Japanese Inn. The place I found was highly rated (especially for their food), offering discounted prices and literally located between Matilda's CIEE center and the language school.

It’s so exciting, David! Can’t wait to see your pictures and hear the stories!

"Meals should be booked at least five days in advance." Wow. [link]
It looks amazing -- I'm with lisah -- can't wait to see photos and hear stories! So excited for you both.
I forget, how long will Matilda be there, and what are her living arrangements?
Timelies all!
Yesterday was kinda hectic. Apparently no plan survives contact with Mr. S. Originally Gary was going to go get him and bring him here for the afternoon. Then Mr. S decided he wanted Nana(Gary's mom) to be there, so they were going to pick her up on their way here. I go to do the weekly supermarket run, and almost as I get home I get a call that =I= need to go pick her up. First I put away the groceries, then I go pick her up. Of course, once we're all here, Mr. S shows little interest in doing something with her. He does decide he wants to go sledding on the barely a half inch of snow that is on the grass. He also decides he doesn't want to go back in time for dinner. As he has to be back by 7pm, that doesn't leave a lot of time to get dinner(It's about an hour from our house to the RTC). I bring Gary's mom back to her house, and return home around 5:20. Gary then takes Mr. S back and I end up meeting him for dinner around 8.
We're supposed to get some amount of snow starting tonight into tomorrow. Don't know how much, but I am expected to try to get to work even if things are closed. Let's hope not much snow has fallen by the time I need to leave tomorrow morning.

It really looks incredible!
I went to a women’s hockey game! We don’t have a team here but the Montreal and Boston teams played and it was pretty great (more for the atmosphere and the “Mansplain Hockey Elsewhere” shirt and similar signs and such, than for the actual hockey which I honestly don’t even know the rules of). It ended in a shootout! Or as my soccer friends and I said, “ooh its going to PKs!”
That looks so neat. I am going to be so thrilled to hear about your adventures in Japan.
Once again visiting Mom has been postponed. It keeps happening and it's so frustrating. She lives an hour away it shouldn't be this hard to see her. There was a winter advisory last night saying it was through this afternoon but that is gone . Now there is a high wind advisory and my little car doesn't do well in high winds. Tomorrow looks clear so hopefully I can go then.
It is still snowing here. We are well and truly snowed in. Though that means nothing for me since I work from home. Tim is off work, though.
I'm happy to report that chili was achieved. Not the best I've ever made, but not the worst either and the first time using the stove at the new house. I expect to be pleasantly warm and full the next few days.
