Trip Reports

All cars aboard the Shinkansen maintain a library-like atmosphere, kind of like the quiet car on Amtrak back home.

A scenic drive through the Japanese countryside took us to a local ice cream shop and a store selling local foods and goods.

I rode a reserved-seat commuter train into downtown Tokyo today to avoid the morning rush hour trains.

I spotted a tap-to-pay turnstile at a Tokyo train station for the first time today, just like OMNY back in New York City.

Read about my routine flight on the JAL A350 to Tokyo with great food, comfortable sleep, and poor Wi-Fi.

I've found old travel photos, model airplanes, and more while digging through closets at my Tokyo house.

It took just 11 minutes from the plane to the monorail after my international flight, with immigration and customs taking a total of about 3 minutes.

Boston's South Station is a depressing one, but recent renovations have made it look a little better.

A 6am domestic flight out of Boston Logan's Terminal E, which is mostly used for international flights, meant that I got to enjoy some quiet time before my flight.

The cushioning on the Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 offers great comfort during those trips that have you walking 20,000+ steps.
