We spent our unexpected time in Kobe, (thanks to Air Canada) keeping our exhausted spirits up by shopping, exploring and some of us went to the Maritime Museum. Ms. Heidi also found a fireworks store. So cool, but couldn't bring anything home!

Yes, we too are victim of the Air Canada cancellation action, giving us only one day notice, not the required 48 hour notice. I don't know how we would of handled this without our incredible travel agent Herbert Lee and his team at .
They have worked round the clock helping us to get rebooked on flights home, get us to Kobe and into a hotel while we wait for our new flight 2 days later. Herbert hot us into a hotel right at the entrance to China town and surrounded by great shopping and a close walk to the harbour. He and his team are so thoughtful about how to keep the singers calm and having some fun under the stressful situation. Now, instead of a direct flight home, we fly to San Francisco, then Portland, then Vancouver. Let's pray nothing goes wrong with those flights. Of course we had to try some Kobe beef last night. So good! There were fireworks last night! I could hear them, but not see them. Did I mention it is a holiday here adding to the difficulty of booking things at peak season. Truly we could not possibly thank Herbert and his team enough. They have been nothing short of heroic. We highly recommend them, especially planning a tour. You couldn't be in better hands!

Well we had an amazing tour. Our last 2 performances were at the Canadian Pavilion for Expo 2025! The crew at the pavilion could not have been more wonderful to work with. They were incredibly supportive and helpful with solving some ticketing issues as well as getting us vip passes to several pavilions including Canada, Austria, Hungary and France! Then throw in a cracking thunderstorm and down pour. Again our Canadian crew let us shelter in rooms in the pavilion. And now we are scrambling to get home. You guessed it, AIR CANADA HAS CANCELLED OUR FLIGHTS! Thank goodness for our travel agent, Herbert Lee ! He and his team are working overtime to get us home!
