Sounds awesome! I've been wanting to go back for years, and the missus would love to as well.

i wish you could meet us there!! you and the wife.
my MN friend that has never traveled outside the USA, sheepishly asked me if his wife and him could join us. they are a bit nervous, and we happily extended the invite.
they told me they have never had sushi before. me; oh, i got this!
i think 1 or 2 days, and we probably wont see them again, as they get their travel legs beneath themselves.
i told them, "dont forget, we are older..old." i aint hitting a japanese nightclub.
