I mentioned in a couple of posts since the beginning of the month that I want to do a day trip into the mountain. There’s a road I want to drive again since I never made it to the destination last time when I drove it 4 years ago in April 2021.

After a week of unrest caused by those dumb scammers, I finally slept without dreams or nightmares – from 7 PM to 5:30 AM. Oh, Merry Christmas to me, by the way, as it was Christmas on that day.

This is the day when I would part ways with my aunt and uncle on this trip as they would be heading home while I continued my journey.

Day 2 was another early start as the emotional nightmares caused by the scammers continued to terrorize me, resulting in another sleepless night. My Fitbit told me I only had 4-and-a-half hours of sleep the night before and again that night. That would mean I only had about 9 hours of sleep in two days.

As this post goes live, it will be the start of Day 3 of my 6-day solo road trip and so far, it is not at all what I’m expected.

As I sort and edit the nearly 1,000 photos I took on my trip to Japan, I feel like I’m experiencing Japan all over again as I find the story behind each photo. My favorite photos have so far been the nature photos.

As I sit here in my cold bedroom writing this post, I realized, I haven’t explored anywhere new in Utah this year. Usually, I would usually go to at least one place I either never been or haven’t been in a while each year.

Happy Sunday! This week, Patti is the host for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #269 and she has chosen a topic that’s quite challenging (at least to me) and that is on the edge.

Here I am, writing this post on a Shinkansen speeding across Japan bound for Shinagawa before transferring to another line for Haneda Airport. We left Osaka at 8:30 this morning and will be home in approximately 27 hours.

I love to look at any city from a high vantage point because it always amazes me to see how dense the city really. This is a look at Osaka, Japan from the Umeda Sky Building – a 140-m building in the heart of Osaka. Looking at the bridges, I was frankly surprised by how different they are.

Despite stumbling out of bed this morning with a numbing pain in my right lower leg and a stabbing pain in my back, I found today to be one of the more interesting and pleasant days of the trip.

I have opted to take the night off. I really hope my decision is honored as a majority of my decisions haven’t been honored on this trip.

I feel like this photo should be on a postcard but maybe I’m not at that quality yet.

I was woken up by a strange dream this morning. I dreamed I was in a co-worker’s home, which is strange as I have never been to any of my co-workers’ homes before. I was probably muttering in my sleep because I found myself waking up saying “I was from Canton,” and my mom asking me what I was saying.

It’s Day 5 and we have arrived at Fujikawaguchiko, a resort town near the foot of Mount Fuji, after a 2-hour bus ride. I’m so glad it’s not as hot and humid here, compared to Tokyo. In hindsight, I feel I missed quite a bit of sightseeing in Tokyo because of the heat, exhaustion, and pain but I guess this would give me a reason to visit again.

Why is it that Day 2 of any trip always seems to be the hardest day?
