TOKYO DAY ONE
My mom arrived in Japan on Friday afternoon! I felt horrible not being able to pick her up at the airport, but she made it safely by bus to a nearby city and we found each other without too much hassle.
Leaving no time for jet-lag, we awoke early on her first day in Japan and took the bullet train (Shinkansen) to the most fabulous place on Earth, Tokyo Disneyland Resort.
By 10am we were sweating our way around Tokyo Disneysea (it was about 38 degrees, plus humidity), just trying to take it all in. Surprisingly the park was not busy (we expected 1.5hr+ waits for rides and actually waited no more than 15 minutes!) so we got to do everything we wanted, in some cases, twice! As usual, the parades were fabulous and the rides were thrilling.
Our feet felt like they were going to fall off at the end of a long day, but we had to make our way across Tokyo and find our hostel (only $20/night/person! WHOA!) which was in Asakusa. We got some much-needed rest and awoke early again the next day for TOKYO DAY TWO!
