Off to Vegas for my daughter and son-in-law's graduations.

Honestly don't know what this means.  Did they graduate from UNLV?

Have a blast. 

We're in LV for June.  We've got plans for lots of fun in and out of LV.

Of course, Gaudi in Barcelona and Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, but those are unmissable.

Check back.  I know of a restaurant in Valencia that is extraordinary...trying to get the name now.

I thought about staying in a Ryokan. Just for a night. As novel as it would've been I don't think I would've enjoyed it much. Especially if all they had was a Japanese style toilet.

I wanted to try a hot spring. I'm not sure I would've had the nerve to go through with it though. Given most of them are enjoyed naked. Plus apparently a lot of them don't accept people with tattoos and I have a small one on my arm.

We stayed in Tokyo for 9 days and then Osaka for 5. We made a few day trips during our Osaka stay to Kyoto, Hiroshima and another place I don't remember.
