2024 was a travel drought year. It was year full of good things but we just had so much going on we couldn’t afford the time or the money to do one of the typical trips we usually do.
The plan for this trip was to leave Minneapolis on Thursday 3/6 and come back home on Monday 3/24. Joanna normally has Tuesdays off so she could use that day to recoup from jet lag. I was so excited to go on this trip that I checked in the moment I got the 24hr heads up email on Wednesday morning.

Got about 2 hours of sleep which was expected due to the jet lag. I was kind of surprised there were several izakayas around that closed at 5am but I didn’t want to deal with translating the menu so we settled on the always reliable 7-11.

Started the day off with some free breakfast at the hotel. I was too hungry after our first night on arrival and got full off our 7-11 haul at 4am, which lead to completely forgetting that the hotel provided breakfast. Really liked the offering, at least to me, it seemed close to Japanese home cooking.
