Yakushima Island, Kyushu, Japan

October 13th - 17th, 2002

Well, Chris outdid himself AGAIN!  After a very exciting game of "The Amazing Race -- Nishinomiya" I was the first team to arrive at the final pitstop making me the winner of a trip for 2 to Yakushima (Yaku Island) for a romantic 3rd anniversary celebration!
 
Little did I know that time off from work had been secretly arranged and I was to be whisked away early the next morning!  Ahhhh!
 
We had a great 4 days on the volcanic island and enjoyed relaxing in the onsen (hotspring) and taking in the gorgeous landscape.  This island has the oldest cedar tree in the WORLD! Wow.

In Kagoshima waiting for the ferry to the island.
