Welcome!! May 2024 Japan Travel Blog!
Our cruise has ballroom dancing theme so the morning at sea zumba class was rocking!!
Cunard's Queen Elizabeth has 900 crew and 2000 passengers. On this voyage 1200 passengers are Japanese. It's Golden Week in Japan so it's time to travel for the Japanese. The cabin doors all look alike so guests have taken scraps of paper and folded them into various animals and hung them on their cabin doors. Pretty cool
38 floors above the financial district at the Mandarin Oriental. Here's Kay with the lobby florals
First stop - the pool!
Here's the view!
Beautiful room for high tea with stunning florals and people watching and presentation but TINY portions... one square inch scones?

May 1 Sunrise at the Atlanta Airport. Rode the hotel shuttle with a few pilots.
Made friends with Jared the Wheelchair Escort who got us to the ATL International Terminal Delta Sky Club without going on the ATL airport train. Thats the back roads!
Watching the runway preparations reminded us of the Who Built The Road Richard Scary chidren's books. No Lowly the Worm found.
Made friends with Delta Flight Attendants: Comfort and Larry. Three meals. Lie flat seats. Departed 10AM on Wednesday and arrived in Tokyo 1PM on Thursday. Flew 14 hours through 13 time zones which equals a whole day!
Arranged an escort through customs and made it from plane seat to Tokyo hotel in an hour. Shipped the big bags of cruise wear two weeks before departure so carry on only. MDA manages the bags and KLA watches the passports.
Traveling with three stuffed animals: dog, moose and elephant
My seat mate for 14 hours ATL to Tokyo
Spent one night in Atlanta to avoid any rushing or missed connections for the long tokyo flight. Easy FLL flight with a bacon egg and cheese to start the day. Our Atlanta hotel overlooked the runway and the Porsche Test Driving Course so we watched the planes land and the cars race. Cornbread and ribs for dinner then an early night!
