It’s been a sweet stay!

We checked out of Palace Hotel Tokyo this morning after another nice breakfast (with Elmo this time) in the club lounge. India, here we come! I’m not sure we are going to be prepared for the chaos of India after such a calm abode. The signature scent of the Plaza was “tranquility” and it was very relaxing and not a bit overwhelming as it wafted through the hallways and emerged from the skin care amenities in the room.

It was a really nice base for a few days while we got our bearings, and hopefully some day we will be back to Tokyo to explore more. It is super clean here! As we were being driven to the airport this morning, it occurred to me this is a huge city like Los Angeles or NYC full of high rises and little else, but there is not a scrap of litter or any graffiti on the buildings! It really makes a difference in one’s perception.

It’s always nice to find a little special something at each place we stop - and for Chris it was the honey that was light and unique tasting that she drizzled on Greek yogurt and fresh fruits each morning.

Elmo liked it too! I bet Elmo would have loved the snow monkeys even more than we did! The antics of the little ones was a highlight- hair pulling and pushing - just like some little ones we know. 🥰
