Good news though, the Panda has really vanilla trips as in none of them really suck (except LOS), and I am sure that you will be able to avoid that unless you like malaria. Oh, and one other thing, I am just now able to hold the trip consistently that I want. 18 (44?) months to go.
You summed it up perfectly. The elusive final 18 months of finally holding the desired trip moved from 58 years old to 63 years old back in 2008 and likely to 65 years old with proposed legislation. I've never hid the fact I want to be top X% for my last Y years. I'm just hoping for that to begin at 65-Y, not 67-Y. I'm familiar with the variety of WB trips and you are correct, none of them really suck (except LOS).

What I'm really hoping for from this thread are the deets on the Ramen place in HND. I like Ebisoba Ichigen Shinjuku, but am up for finding a new favorite. Have you tried Udon Shin for a change of noodle? I haven't been to either since covid, so I'm hoping they are two of the survivors.
