Greg's First Trip to Japan





Work called and Greg answered. Greg had to go to Tokyo for work, something he has always wanted to do. He had a blast! First of all they had a limo come to the house to pick him up to take him up to LA to catch his flight. Then of course because they are in business class they get slippers to wear on the flight and pretty decent food.

While there wasn't time for site seeing he did have a few adventures. The Grand Hyatt is the best hotel he has ever stayed at. The beds had tempurpedic mattresses and the toilet was heated and had a tushie washer! Ha ha.

He said the food was phenomenal! The first night out they went to a small little restaurant and they ended up meeting Sylvester Stalone. Go figure! Who would think you have to travel halfway around the world to meet a celebrity.

Greg said it was probably one of the safest and cleanest cities he's ever seen. He says that the kids that would be Austins age ride the subways by themselves and he never felt unsafe.

The last night he was there the hotel got to do the hula. Yes. That's right. The hotel did the hula. He happened to be there when Japan got hit with about 8 really good size earthquakes within an hour or so of one another in the middle of the night. Not always fun to hear back in the States.

He is back safe and sound. Thank goodness! And ready to go back again I'm sure.
