Why is this an ultimate world journey? Well, it could well be my final grand trip, as I'm getting old and running out of money. I have scheduled flights on the Airbus 380 and new Boeing 747-8. I tend to stay in Starwood hotels because as a Platinum member, the internet and breakfast are free, they upgrade me and I can freely use any of their executive clubs. But what will make this trip memorable will be lunches and dinners at Michelin 3-Star and Pellagrino Top 100 restaurants. For example, I'll be having dinner at Narisawa, the best restaurant in Japan. A little disconcerting is that it dropped twelve places to #27 in the World, and that it is not even in the Michelin 3-Star list. Interesting that Japan has more of these temples of cuisine than France, and that Tokyo has more than Paris. California has only two Michelin 3-Stars, and they are both in the Napa Valley region: French Laundry in Yountville and The Restaurant at Meadowood in St. Helena. Maybe I'll get to experience both on this trip.-
Looks like Tropical Cyclone Dumile, at 75 MPH, will skirt to the west side of St. Denis, Reunion:
