New Hampshire to Japan

New Hampshire Union Leader Night Editor Sherry Wood spends 10 days in Japan on the trail of the 1905 Portsmouth Peace Treaty.

Homeward bound

Today is my last day in Japan. After a trip to witness cutting-edge technology at the Panasonic Center, I am headed to Narita/New Tokyo Airport.

I will be sad to say goodbye to this fascinating country and my new friend, interpreter Sumiyo Terai. And I will be sad to stop talking to all of you. Your comments have made this trip even more meaningful. It is as if I've had you along with me on the journey. I enjoyed your company very much.

There are many stories I have not yet shared -- some I hope to tell in the pages of the New Hampshire Union Leader. But I have a question for you. After I return home, can I do a few more postings? There are some stories that are too good to leave untold.

Please let me know what you think

For me personally, it has been both very enjoyable and extremely educational at the same time. We all can't wait for your safe return because we want to hear more of your adventurous trip but most of all because we have missed you so much. Have a safe flight!!! October 17, 2007 5:53 PM

	Nora said: Your reports have been so wonderful, so witty and thoughtful and insightful. When I travel to exotic places my mind becomes a blank slate, I remember nothing of my other life (apologies to my darling children) and sink entirely into that time and place. I marvel that you can be fully engaged on your travels and yet so mindful of your humble readers back home. You've taken multi-tasking to a new level! People who've experienced the Other Worldliness of an Eastern culture can appreciate what a feat you've managed. Yes, yes, you must tell us more!! (I have some ideas about the venue.) Love and godspeed, Nora October 18, 2007 10:11 AM
	Carol Robidoux said: I left a comment yesterday but it never showed up. Perhaps it was censored! I only wondered if the Japanese newspaper was hiring. We have all been sitting on our hands waiting for your return. You can only imagine how hard it's been to produce a newspaper without the use of our hands. The blogs are so great they will probably earn you a second invitation to Japan! October 18, 2007 11:49 AM

	Jeannie Too said: Scientists say that time and space are curved, but your blogs have allowed us to share your time and space in Japan as if only a short straight line separated us. Keep on blogging! October 19, 2007 10:50 AM
	Nancy said: Please, keep on blogging. It's been a blast for me. What a trip. I'd love to read your take on just about everything. Maybe some NH stories, too. Thanks. October 19, 2007 8:42 PM
