We had plenty of time to wander around the various shops, but I didn\u2019t see anything that I really needed to get. Our final stop was to Shinjuku to take a look at a couple of places around the train station before finally heading back to the Kazusaya. As we grabbed our bags, we made sure to take a photo of our tree again outside the Shin-Nihombashi station before getting on the Narita Express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trip to the airport was uneventful and at Narita we did our usual McDonald\u2019s fix in the airport before getting on the plane since we didn\u2019t know what the food was going to be like onboard the flight home. I was glad we had the direct flight back to Los Angeles and didn\u2019t have to worry about the switch like we did in San Jose last time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, this trip is finally over as we arrived in Los Angeles and headed home. I was dropped off at the apartment and now I get to do laundry and re-live November 1 all over again. It was super cool to head back to Japan again this year. I am not sure this is something I will do again as there are so many places still to see in the world. However I do know I will be back in Japan again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s November and it is time to go home.
