I then met a woman at a marina, married her, and settled in Japan permanently. Japan is a great place to cruise -- safe; friendly people; beautiful scenery; rich history and culture; great food; and much more. Feel free to contact me if you would like more information about cruising Japan.Fri, 25 Oct 2019 12:40:19 GMTGeorge.Curtis
