June 28th, 2008 TFiJ18: Tokyo Disneyland 2006
Summer is here in Toyama, and it’s time to go into reruns! I’m really busy these days, so I thought I’d post an old video of a trip we made to Tokyo Disneyland in March 2006, before Max was born and only a few months after Shinobu was released from the hospital following her heart operation. I hope to get back with some more current video clips soon, but until I can manage that, I hope you enjoy watching some of our old stuff. This trip was the result of a promise Shinobu and I made to each other as she recovered in the hospital after her heart attack in the summer of 2005. We thought then, “boy, won’t it be great if we can take Luke to Tokyo Disneyland?” It was a happy thought that helped get us through a tough time. So, when the trip finally came to pass, it was extra special. Just seeing the excitement on Luke’s face brings back great memories!
OH! One error to correct: Shinobu’s birthday is March 12th, not the 11th. Opps!

It sure brings back memories. Do you remember your first trip to Disney World in California?

Yeah, I remember flashes here and there. The most outstanding thing was the monorail. That really impressed me. I also have memories of the hotel where we stayed- palm trees outside, a fancy lobby, stuff like that. I’ve been there several times since that first trip, so it’s hard to sort out which memories happened when, but definitely that monorail made a big, lasting impact. Maybe that’s why I love science fiction so much?
This trip to Tokyo Disneyland (which is an almost carbon copy of Disneyland in California) was actually Luke’s 2nd time. His first time was when he was three years old. I wonder if he can remember anything from that trip? Hmm… I’ll have to ask him when he’s older.

Disney. You know he employed several big time Ex Nazi’s after the war? Just sayin’. Anyway, he sure tapped into something - the whole kid experience. As an adult, I cant stand that place, but as a kid, jeesh, its magic. STAR TOURS! I LOVED THAT RIDE! I did it in Florida many many many years ago. It was SO COOL!
