Japan: Day 17 (October 7, 2008 Tuesday)

Wow! We're down to just one more week in Japan. I can hardly believe how quickly the time flew by.

We're about ready to go down for our complimentary breakfast here at the Comfort Hotel Sendai West which is a very modern, western looking hotel even though it still has the fancy toilets. :-) After that, we'll walk to the train station to catch the bullet train again for Kyoto. Art just looked out the window and said it's raining. You know our luck could only hold out so long. That's why we don't gamble.

Tonight's lodging will be on the opposite end of the sleeping spectrum. Kyoto's hotels are very expensive so we'll be staying in a hostel (Tour Club Kyoto). My mom and brother have never stayed in a hostel before so this should be interesting, especially since they're the ones who've had the big rooms on this trip. We'll be sleeping all together in a small room that can only fit 4 futon beds. It'll be a different experience...
