Helloooo to my new ipad case!

Yes, I have crossed over to the apple side. BUT, not without a little help from Kate Spade. They were offering free champagne when J and I were shopping, so how could we not go in?? This was just perfect to remind me that I should enjoy life whenever I can... even at work!

narita.

My definition of Narita: tears.

I hate goodbyes. But, I know this won't be the last. Safe flight, J!

tourists.

We were the best tourists ever, J and I. Today, was whirlwind tour of Tokyo!

Spent laughing times on the trains!

Walked through the crazy Shibuya Crossing...

Walked the beautiful paths of Meiji Shrine.

Explored the Tokyo, Tokyo Shopping District :)

Walked the park beneath the Imperial Palace.

Went to the top of Tokyo Tower!

Explored the late-night crowds of Roppongi...

And enjoyed an incredible view from the The Ritz...

The best traveling duo :)

pinned.

However ugly the process in getting here was, it no longer matters. I got it at last! My pin!

Somehow it doesn't feel as great as I thought. But, it is another step closer to getting back closer to those I love. In the meantime I can focus on learning as much as I can and getting the most out of this place until I get to return to America. :)

workaholic.

Sometimes, I feel like this is the only place I ever see during daylight hours...

Sorry, J.

arrival.

Starting a reaaaallllyyy early, long drive to see my visitor arrive... 

Hoping for a reunion something like my favorite movie! :)

I hope J surprised!
