Just over fifteen months ago on January 18th, 2010 I announced a plan that would see me starting to take some important steps that would allow me to visit Japan in the Summer of 2011. I named the plan Operation Visit Japan and it focused on the financial challenge visiting Japan is for someone like me....

Over the months that Operation Visit Japan has be underway I have gone from feeling tingly inside, to bouncing around in my chair to now wanting to do adrenaline fuel somersaults. Its that time again to write up an update on how the savings are going for Operation Visit Japan and now I can breathe...

One full year has passed since the first report drawn up on my blog detailing my plans to visit Japan.

It has now been eight months since Operation Visit Japan started in January of this year. Right on cue and just as pre-planed I have passed the 50% mark halfway through the operation. I’ve been experimenting a lot with my blog and working on ways to get in contact with readers and/or offering more...

Another month has flown by and it’s time again for the Operation Visit Japan report, this time for July 2010. The saving plan continues to progress nicely each month and I seem to be on a blogging roll, spitting out post after post almost daily and my brain is a constant hum with new post ideas...
