Konnichiwa!

Oh, hello. 

Remember when blogs were all the rage?  

Well, Keith and I do!

And that's why we're partying like it's 2005 while jet-setting into the distant future of 3005 (that's what year it is in Japan) with our Very Special Blog:  Lost in Libations!

Sure, that title might seem like it was just the first thing that popped into our heads--some lazy word play based on our love of booze.  But really, it wasn't.  We actually had a TON of terrible thoughts first when trying to come up with names for this Travelventure!™ -- Including Keith & Jeff's Japan's Super Travelventure!™

We also briefly considered...

...but passed, for obvious reasons.

Ultimately we decided we wanted to include our love of booze in our title, which is how we took the long journey to... 

...American Ninja Pour-rior.  

And quite a journey it was.

Of course, the only thing we love more than booze is food.  So we tried this mess...

Yeah. Nope.

Also nope:  Japanimaniacs...

...even though there is, technically, baloney in our slacks.

We also considered Tokyo Drifters, Tok-YOooooooo, and Land of the Rising FUN!  

So, yeah.  Lost in Libations it is.

We also definitely have not been drinking since 9:30AM.  Why would you even ask that?

While at the fancy-pants lounge at the airport this morning...

... we met some fellow drunkards who were on their way to New Orleans... 

Keith and I watched as the Australians spilled things and lost things and drank things.  They reminded me of us on literally all of the trips we've taken.  

...

They'll never make it. 

Also on the list of people who will never make it:  Me and Keith.   

We are currently enjoying the "Libations" portion of this blog in the Very Fancy Business Class section of our plane.  

We figured why not splurge for comfort here...

...since the "Lost" portion of the blog is going to be terrifying.  

And that will begin once we land and try to navigate our way to our hotel somewhere in the middle of Tokyo.  

Wish us luck!
