And the Two Traveled Back Home by the Bullet Train All the Way to Tokyo.....THE END!

Well, sadly my trip to Hiroshima has come to an end. I had a great time! That is aside from "Alex" having something like “Swine Flu” and being bed ridden, blowing his nose, coughing, and contaminating everything in sight most of the trip!

Let’s see, I got to see the majority of what I wanted to see (Atomic-Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Shopping Center, and Peace Memorial Park) and enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. You know, there is nothing like seeing and experiencing history you have read about, it’s one of the best feelings ever.

Overall, Hiroshima was a quiet place and as expected the people were very friendly, well that is with the exception of one lady (at the museum) that nearly got cussed out, but that’s another story. Anyway, with my growling stomach, feet cold from the air on this train, hair looking a hot mess, and Alex blowing his nose, I think it’s time for me to end this post. More about my trip coming soon!!!

The Bullet Train and Life...

Today, we are on our way to Hiroshima via the Bullet Train. Now, aside from its shape, I understand why they call it the Bullet Train! Can we say fast!! You actually feel like your flying at the speed of a bullet. I can’t keep my eyes on any one object long enough to get a glimpse. Okay, so maybe I’m exaggerating a little! Seriously though, it is pretty fast.

Who would have thought I would be traveling on the fastest train in the world. NOT ME!! I remember seeing and hearing about it on TV, but never thought in a million years I would be cruising on it. I can say, I am truly thankful for my experience here in Japan. I have learned so much about the country and not to mention myself. I feel as though, I am truly starting to understand the meaning of life.

This is what I know, life is like a painting and we are the artist. I also know, I'd rather live life than merely exist in it. As the artist of my life, I have complete control over what appears on my canvas and it is up to me to make it a Masterpiece!

Wow Five!!

As I sit here, one hour into our flight, stomach bubbling, knees cramped, listening to Bonney James, on my way to Korea, I can't help but to think how Korea will be the 5^th country I have visited for the year. Wheeeew, I know right……..Shheeessshh!!

I can definitely say that God has blessed me not only individually, but other people's blessing have become my blessing. Does this make sense? The reason I say this, is because I haven’t had to pay for any of my trips, thus far!! I don't know what I would do without my Mom and Alex. Thank you both so much. 

So, to that end, remember to thank God for all that he does and has done for you, but moreover thank him for the people he has placed in your life.

Time Waits For No One!

Yesterday, I realized I couldn't have named my blog anything else but the “Days of MY Life”. Geeeez!! Talk about a long day full of dead ends..... It all began yesterday morning when my boyfriend "Alex" and I were SUPPOSE to be leaving for Korea, for a few days. We got everything ready from the night before and the only thing left for us to do, was get to the airport on TIME!! Well, let’s just say NOTHING WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN!
Let's see where shall I start.................

First, we missed the 1:00p.m bus that would have taken us to Narita Airport, which is 2 hours a way. So, what did we end up doing?? Taking the over crowded train all the way too the Airport. NEVER AGAIN!! Talk about clostro phobia!!!
Three hours later, after switching trains countless times, we arrived at the airport with our oversized suitcases! Ugh!! We make it to the check-in counter, only to discover we were too late!! The doors of the plane were closed!! "Alex" was pissed!! Oddly I wasn't. My only thought was "this day can't get any worst".

In the end, we had to travel all the waaaay back home, but this time by bus.....Only to do it all over again Today!!
