OK, I went into my “trip stuff” folder. I found 750,000 Japanese yen and 70 Swiss francs. I also found a Suica card – which is a strange Japanese part pre-paid credit card part transit card. Don’t know how much is on it.
Seems like this is a sign from the travel goddess telling me to go to Japan. Now, in July, much of Japan is rainy and hot. My granddaughter Sam and I spent 4+ weeks in July-August in 2010. And we have both been back on our own since then.
