The days are winding down before we hit home and we have said goodbye to backpacker grot and hello to fancypants hotels. The best things about the fancypants hotels: the breakfast buffet.
Here's a sample of what I managed to imbibe this morning which managed to integrate, Japan, China, Pacific NW, England and Newfoundland:
Course #1: Mango and yoghourt (started slow to ease in to the big guns)
Course #2: Japanese Grilled Fish aka Salmon
Course #3: Smoked salmon, cream cheese and wheat croissant
Course #4: Grilled to order steak, fried potatoes, lettuce for garnish
Course #5: bacon, baked beans and fried bologna
Course #6: Shrimp dim sum, grilled halibut, marinated mushrooms and tomatoes
Course #7: Fruit and cheese
YUM - the plan is to eat a huge meal in the morning that sets us up for the day and gets us to cocktail hour which start flowing at 6pm.
Given all this you would expect us to have put on 100lbs but no we have both lost at least 10 lbs. I now have ribcage again and everything is riding very low due to lack of belly fat (yay scummy backpacking, walking everywhere and eating only when hungry not to mention the fantastic asian healthy diet that eliminates dairy and downplays the meat and fat. Desserts and puddings are fairly non existent too.)
Almost the last regularity report of the trip. Still potty about the potty. Already planning what to have for breakfast tomorrow

Good to read your blog--we missed the updates.
No pressure, mind you...
Hope you enjoy the transition from east to west--even though you'll be flying roughly west to east.
Looking forward to talking to you soon.
We'll call once the dust has settled being back at home (we get back thursday night at 8pm PST). We will probably need to find out where Adrienne put the butter knife and fish poacher...
Seems like you guys are having a whale of a time there. I think the heat helps a lot too in keeping the fat off.
Cheers!

Considering your blog is called Jenny and Martin's Excellent Adventure, I hope you'll consider updating your blog. You have so many friends worldwide -- especially in Canada and the U.K.
Would love it if you continue to update with pictures of even what seems most boring and mundane -- here's Jenny at lawn bowling, here's what Martin had for lunch today, we're renovating this, here's our running group, Jennifer is reading this, Martin is listening to that......
