## Me
Jordan — planning a trip with partner Alex to Japan.

## People
| Who | Role |
|-----|------|
| **Alex** | Partner. Bad knee (old soccer injury) — cumulative impact over long days, not a dealbreaker for individual stairs. Nervous about language barrier, first time in Asia. Eats everything. |

## Projects
| Name | What |
|-----|------|
| **Japan Trip** | 10-day Japan trip, Oct 15–24, 2026. Phase: Activities. Route: Tokyo (3N) → Kyoto (4N) → Osaka (2N). Budget: $8000 USD + 85K United miles. |

## Trip Planning Status
- **Last session:** memory/sessions/session-log-mar28-a.md
- **Phase:** ✅ Activities (Phase 5) — Tokyo and Kyoto activities planned, Osaka in progress
- **Route:** Tokyo (3N) → Kyoto (4N) → Osaka (2N)

## Preferences
- Jordan is vegetarian (strict — no fish sauce, no dashi with bonito)
- USD for costs, Celsius for temps
- Prefer ryokans with character over business hotels
- One main activity per day, flexible afternoons
- Booking philosophy: flexible/refundable when possible, willing to pay a bit more for comfort and cancellation protection
