Test from email

I'm just testing out sending a post directly from email.

Welcome

This is the standard "welcome to our new blog" first post. Basically this site will be a place for Cheryl and I to post our preparations and ultimately our experiences for our 2 week trip to Japan in October. Right now we're very much in the initial planning stage, so if you have recommendations for what we -have- to do while we're there post them here.

To summarise the trip, the first week will be travelling around the southern areas of Japan on a Cultural Study Tour with my dojo. We'll be giving demonstrations, which isn't scary at all, and visiting areas of significance to Japanese Swordsmanship. It will be very hectic, plenty of early mornings and meals on the trains apparently.

The second week we'll be heading north on our own. The very sketchy plans we have right now involve visiting Tokyo and Cheryl eating eel. This is the area where we welcome suggestions :)

I'll also post a mutable itinerary which hopefully will help us get organised.
