On August 10 we took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto. My host sister came with us to help, which was great. We had sent the bulk of our luggage down to our house, but traveling with two kids in diapers never seems to allow for "traveling light." Sam fell asleep in the station and missed a lot of the excitement - the trains are more interesting from the outside unless you are a seasoned enough Amtrak traveler to really appreciate the clean, quiet ride, ability to really reserve seats, and on-time performance. In the 25 minutes we were on the platform, about six express trains loaded and departed on time.
Finally we are in our new home (as of 8/10)). Sam was still a little tired out...

sam definitely has some great sleeping spots! I can't imagine doing mushiatsui Tokyo with two little ones, you've got more energy than i do!
