This was one of the best summer vacations I've had in years, considering how little planning went into it. Luck played a huge factor, in getting me to places while important festivals and shows were happening (w/o any prior research). Caught up with old friends and made new ones. Lots of new novelty experiences.
This's also my first vacation as a foreign resident, and the resources available to me (i.e. Japanese cell phone and address) helped tremendously.
My ALT colleague once asked me what was the best meal I had. My answer was that I hardly remember the food I had, but the people and time spend with them during the meal are the memorable parts. And it's true on vacations: I always value the human experiences and they're what I'll remember (pictures also help).
The sad part: vacation always comes to an end, and it's back to work next week.
