We are excited to announce that we are planning a new adventure, beginning in January 2012! This journey is called Trekking the Planet. It is a 400-day, around-the-world trip to raise geography education awareness.
After arriving in Toronto and spending Saturday seeing the city, we boarded The Canadian late that night to begin our journey west.
After 84 hours and about 2,800 miles of train travel we arrived in Vancouver, British Columbia at 8:30 am this morning, about one hour ahead of schedule.
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, was our last stop on our train journey. We spent time here visiting many historic sights as well as several museums.
After arriving in Japan, we spent the first three days in Tokyo. We visited several of the city sights, including the zoo, Ginza and Shinjuku. We also took a day trip to Nikko, which was a two hour train ride each way.
