I didn't feel like I was tired at all, but since returning home, Totti has been in a coma. I fall asleep every time I get on the train or bus! In the end, the moment Yuka woke me up and said, "We're getting off," I went back to sleep. There's no time difference, so it can't be jet lag, and I'm going to bed early again tonight!

Now it's time for the Palau tour!

So, the long-awaited event is about to begin! We are embarking on the 2015 PALAU HOLIDAY TOUR! After scouting the tour last year, Akari wanted everyone to see this amazing ocean! She also wanted to go back! She put her thoughts into action and announced the plan in May of last year.

Our guests who frequent Miyakojima because they love the terrain and wide-angle views are sure to love the extraordinary ocean, which is completely different from Miyakojima's, even though it's also a wide-angle view! We've thoroughly researched both the sea and the land! All that's left is to have fun to your heart's content. I'd like to get revenge on the Cessna, which I wasn't able to ride last year!

We're going to PALAU with a total of 18 people!

There were 16 guests and 2 staff members, for a total of 18 people! Wow! That's a big group! The photo was taken just before boarding. There were about 5 people missing though...lol

The tour lasted 4 nights and 5 days, and guests ranged from heavy repeat guests to first-timers. Many of the guests were meeting each other for the first time, so it was natural that the excitement was a bit low! However, the BIGHHOLIDAY guests were punctual, listened carefully to what we had to say, and asked pertinent questions, so with the help of the guests throughout the tour, everything seemed to go quite smoothly.

The moment when my heart was filled with excitement. It was overwhelming! It's been a year since I last visited the Promised Land.

We were anxious about the weather and sea conditions, and had high hopes and worries about whether our guests would enjoy themselves, and whether we would be able to enjoy ourselves as well. To be honest, at that time we didn't feel quite grounded.
