Back home


We're back from a fun-but-sleep-challenged 3-day ski vacation in Hokkaido.

Why was it fun? Lucinda was delighted with 2 ski lessons and took one run with me yesterday. Arno took his first ski lesson, even if it lasted only 30 minutes. The resort had a massive indoor pool with a wave machine and an outdoor spa bath. And we got along famously with with our co-vacationers, the family of Ako Yamamoto, Blaine's brilliant WashPost colleague.

Why was it sleep-challenged? We woke up in Tokyo at 5am on Sunday (for a 6:45am flight) and returned home on Tuesday night at 10pm. That's 65 action-packed hours of skiing, playing, swimming and bathing. Plus, Arno woke us up 5 times each night with various demands. Not so restful, but worth the trip.

I'm sorting out my photographs and will post details in the next 1-2 days.
