On Spring break of 2024, several students and teachers from SMHS sent off on a trip of a lifetime, visiting Japan. Besides the solid 20 hours of traveling (13-hour flight, 5-hour layover, and another 2-hour flight), The trip was one that I doubt I’ll forget, ever. With great morale, I present these twenty images of the trip to Japan. Each Photo has a caption, telling of the location and possible doings.
