Well, this isn't a real travelogue yet, but it will be. For now, it's a placeholder until I can find the time to scan things, edit photos for the Web, and copy and edit my trip diary. My 10-day trip took place in early November of 2001, and it was the first time I've ever been outside the US. So, needless to say, it was a Big Deal!

There will be entries for each day and place I visited during my trip: Hiroshima, Himeji, Nara, Toyama/Osawano/Kamioka, Takayama, Kyoto, Arashiyama, and Osaka, plus one entry about the trouble I had getting to Japan in the first place. I'll also include links to related Web sites as I find them. I already have a list of some very good sites about Hiroshima and the atomic bomb, and a few sites related to other aspects of my trip as well.

Needless to say, like so many of my personal projects, this will be a work in progress for a long time to come. It'll probably start out pretty rough, but as I have the time to flesh out the individual travelogues, I will do so, adding photos and other images and supplemental info as they become available.
