Living it up Japanese Style

Our hotel is nice but lacking in some areas. It is pretty good sized for a Japanese hotel. I think it might even be a little bigger than our room last year. We are staying at The Mercure. We have four wonderful floor to ceiling windows, with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Unfortunately we have no storage so all of our clothes are unpacked and stacked on the floor. We also are in the same situation as last year for cooking. We only have a microwave and a fridge. The beds are really hard along with the pillows. My sleep number back home is looking really good right now. I can't complain too much because there are a lot of positives. We have two beds, they maybe small but Vann at least has his own bed, even though I have slept with him the past two nights to get him use to it.. I kind of feel like Lucy and Ricky Ricordo. The couch also folds into a bed.

The hotel staff speaks very little English so it is really hard to ask for something. Tony was down there for a half an hour last night trying to make sure we weren't getting charged for somthing. It is kind of frustrating.The view from our room.
