@lauren_989 Those are beautiful fall pictures. Looks like you are really enjoying your autumn. Pumpkin bread is delicious! My mother made pumpkin rolls for our birthday gathering. So good!

@jimboden3 Happy birthday! Great loss this week! We had a birthday gathering last week, so I definitely understand celebrating too much. Once I let myself sneak a little something, it seems like the floodgates open and I want the whole batch. You might have to become more generous with the trick or treaters. The person coming at the end of the time gets the rest of the bag! That's a lot of traveling. I love traveling too.

@lauren_989 - Our Alaskan cruise was incredible - you'll have a great time! We added a rail trip to ours to spend a few days up at Denali / Mt McKinley which was fantastic and well worth it (when else are you ever going to be that close by?). We also did some white water rafting (lots of fun but super cold as you can imagine). As far as Japan we spent 11 days between Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka and a small town near Mt Fuji (we stayed at a traditional Ryokan hotel with an Onsen and an 11 course dinner and breakfast … amazing!). There's a great variety of things to do between the touristy spots, food tours, shows, etc. The Samurai class we took was a blast and food was great with more variety than I expected. We tacked on a few days at a beach resort in the Philippines at the end. Planning our trips is half the fun, but it does take time and planning so enjoy building your itinerary!
