Giles and Paula Hit Japan and West Coast - USA - April 2018

[Broark]

Lately I've really been thinking how much I want to drop everything and spend like two weeks in Japan.
Having a forum meetup in Japan would be a nice excuse for that.

Sunsets in the western US are beautiful.  The colors can be unreal sometimes. Phx is semi famous for its sunsets as well.

Flagstaff is better…

[Jett129]

And Sedona is better than both of them.

Just get in your rental and drive north 7 hours till you hit San Francisco. Text me when you get here. [emoji6]

With @Madame Buttonfly navigating, that is highly likely …....

Sedona is for tourists.

@Giles:

We popped up to Joshua Tree tonight for drinks and eats,…

Whiskey and Peyote?

Sedona is for tourists.    Sunset still better than Phoenix and Flagstaff.

The today we went to Joshua Tree National Park….

[Giles]

After that, we met up with some of the other wedding guests.  Josh gave Kotaro some gifts to hand out to the guests….

[Giles]

Then we had the wedding rehearsal, and yes I am the "minister".  It is actually me who pronounces them man and wife.  Kotaro, you must be insane…..

[RoxRocks86]

Being that you’ve been dubbed as “minister” will you be wearing minister clothes or you rocking IH gear?

:D. Good stuff

[manufc10]

Sedona is for tourists…but still a beautiful place.  Not to completely derail this thread but Bisbee is a cool town to visit if anyone ever ventures to southern AZ.  If you're into old western mining towns that aren't super touristy you'll dig it.  There's a cool hotel that's haunted supposedly too, we stayed in it....interesting to say the least.  I believe there's several haunted places there as they do a ghost walk tour at night.  Tombstone isn't far away at all either. It's worth making the trip to go check it out and see where the famous shootout at the OK Corral was.  They reenact the shootout throughout the day too.

I’m starting to realise that being insane is a prerequisite for leading niche clothing brands, so he’s in good company…

Good luck.

Well, I married them….I have seen no pics yet, though the (1 of 2) professional photographer I got drunk with chatted to, reckons he took between 2000 and 3000 shots…..

Nice.  Looking forward to pics, video would be even better.
