As we close out 2022, we are coming up on our four year anniversary of To Make Much of Time! It’s hard to believe we’ve been at it almost four years! Who has the (dripping with sarcasm) good fortune to start a travel blog one year before a global pandemic hits?!

We had started preliminary planning for 2021 trips with a hefty travel guide for Japan adorning our night stand.
