It is time...

Saturday, August 12, 2017 - the first time around.
After six and a half months of travelling east, we are now 14 hours ahead of home.  Today we will get to experience Saturday, August 12... twice.  We fly out at 9:50 pm and arrive in Vancouver on Saturday around 2:00 pm, almost eight hours earlier than we left.  Have to love time travel.
We still have one more day in Tokyo though.  This morning we checked out the Nippori section of old Tokyo as this is fabric town, and Cindy loves fabric.  The day is slightly overcast, which is perfect for the four sad looking males waiting outside the fabric store.  Cindy is in seventh heaven, and just over an hour later returns with her spoils of warring the thick crowds inside this store.  Every now and again one of the boys would venture into the store to get an update on her status.  We then jumped the train to Tokyo Station for our walking tour.  We did not leave much time for the change over and ended up missing lunch.  Tokyo Station has over 420 000 people a day pass through it, making it the busiest station in the world.  The tour took us through the Imperial Palace grounds.  Very nice and peaceful.  After the walking tour was completed, we jumped the train to get back to our neighborhood.  We left our luggage with our landlord and needed to collect it before heading off to the airport.  Our bags stink!  The landlord has a couple of smoking roommates and cats.  At 7 pm we are all check in and at 9:55 am we are lifting off, getting ready to experience our second Saturday shortly.  We are excited to be returning home, but not so excited about 13 hours in the air with a five hour layover.
