I decided it also makes a lot ore financial sense to stay as I knew I was going to San Francisco for Suzanne's bachlorette party and then would stay for her wedding in O... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=630125&go=megangunn Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=483724&go=megangunn I love Benihana!Why not try to visit as many as I can on this world adventure.

We debated about a cab or the subway and the subway seemed to be easy with two connections and the cabs in Japan, and especially Tokyo were so expensive, I was hoping for the subway. In the end, we ma... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=627708&go=megangunn Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=620857&go=megangunn - After a three hour bullet train ride from Hiroshima, Vanessa and I arrived in Kyoto on August 18th and planned to stay for a couple days. Vanessa had been here before and I was excited as she knew of some fun areas we had to check out. This time, she would have a different experience as we were up to take the subway everywhere and not cabs, but in the end, we found the subway system in Kyoto to ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=620857&go=megangunn Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=617936&go=megangunn - After five days in Osaka, it was time to leave and head west towards Hiroshima. With only a 90 minute train ride, on the super fast bullet train, we arrived in Hiroshima. We decided to stash our bags in lockers at the train station for the day, which meant I had to unpack my bag and stuff all the vacuum bags in the locker to make it fit. From the train station, we boarded another small train and... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=617936&go=megangunn Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=575738&go=megangunn Books read:1. Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert. Many people asked me if I have read this book and this was the reason for my trip. The answer is no. I thought I should read this book and it was an entertaining look from one person's eyes on 3 countries for specfic purposes. Glad I read it as I'm more excited to go to Nap... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=575738&go=megangunn Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=473136&go=megangunn Here are some random stats I will be keeping about each country:1. Jamaica (Montego Bay, Ochos Rios)- 5 days/4 nights, local beer is Red Stripe, total cost about $1,100. 2. USA (San Francisco, Walnut Creek, Napa all in California) - 6 days3. England (London) - 7 days - local beer - any beer at any pub. Total cost about 200 pounds ($400). This was only possible as so many friends were so gracious... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=473136&go=megangunn Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=615401&go=megangunn - The first of our day trips was to the city of Himeji as this city is known to have the best castle in Japan and was said to be worth the hour train ride from Osaka. As nothing is easy, the first challenge we had was getting to a new train station to take the bullet train and once at the train station, trying to find the right counter to exchange our Japan Rail Pass, which was the best investmen... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=615401&go=megangunn Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=613756&go=megangunn - After my week in Okinawa with Vanessa and Chris, it was time to fly to the mainland and explore more of Japan. I had looked into flights and was shocked how expensive domestic flights were and based on the prices (meaning $800 one way from Okinawa to Hiroshima vs $200 to go to Kobe). So on Wednesday, August 12th, Vanessa and I decided to fly to the Kobe airport and then take the quick train to O... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=613756&go=megangunn Wed, 12 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=511005&go=megangunn 1.
