Hello Everyone!
The last time I wrote a post, I was a few days away from going to Japan. Now I am currently at LAX with Shawn McHenry and Devin Swanson getting ready to board a plane to Narita, Japan. Yay!
Typically this time of the year, people only go to Japan for the All-Japan show. This year, however, the three of us are going to take a side trip to southern Japan to check out the Koi Farms over there before going back to Tokyo to witness the Koi show. Once again, I am excited to take you on the trip with me and I hope everyone will enjoy my point of view!

On a final note, I just want to share how proud I am of the best big brother in the whole world: Tom Hernandez! He has been invited this year to judge at the All-Japan Show. This is a true testament to his skill and experience in fish and I am honored to be his sister. So that completes the round of men in my Koi life who have judged the show: my dad, my husband and my brother! woohoo!
