My Recent Trip to Japan

I had a very fun and rewarding business trip to Japan recently. I was in Japan from October 25th to November 4th to meet with customers and co-workers. The schedule this time wasn't too hectic, so I had time to meet up with quite a few friends while I was there.

This trip I spent 4 nights in Toyota City, so I was able to see lots of friends there. The first evening I was in Toyota City I was invited to Tobito's home for dinner. I was able to meet the "Sammy" Tobito family, "Tim" Watanabe family, and the "Tony" Omori family. The food was delicious!

Here's a photo of the whole group...

This is me with the Omori family. I helped introduce Mr. & Mrs.Omori 11 years ago while they were both in Missouri. Now they are married with 2 children. It was very rewarding for me to see them after all these years. I wish them a lifetime of happiness.

Here's "Sammy" on his Yamaha 1300 motorcycle. Maybe some year I can rent a motorcycle in Japan and go for a ride with him!


Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera to take photos of my other former co-worker friends that I met on this trip. I had great dinners and lunches with lots of good friends. The weather was great, I was able to accomplish my work tasks and it was one of my best trips to Japan.
