Peking Senator Tokyo to Long Beach Crossing - June 2007 | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
After 15 years of living in Japan, I decided to come back to the USA by something other than an airplane. That turned into a 10-day crossing from Tokyo to Long Beach, California as a passenger on the container ship, Peking Senator, continuing on up to Oakland since I'm settling in San Francisco. My buddy from high school days, Kendall, came to Japan for less than 48 hours JUST to make the trip with me from Tokyo to Long Beach. We had a blast. BLUE ocean, FRESH air. Truly one of the most relaxing things I've ever done.

I've been thinking of making a trip around the world without ever stepping on an aeroplane, but crossing oceans on a ship is just too expensive. Well, perhaps one day...

cheaper by plane, but way more fun - cuz we're talking 10 days of 'blissful boredom' versus 10 hours of annoying sardine-ness. Not for everyone, but my friend and I had a BLAST!!
