For years, Peggy McCay (Caroline, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) dreamed about taking a trip to Japan. She made it a reality recently, when she embarked on a two-week jaunt to Tokyo.

"It was a wonderful experience. I saw just about everything that I'd read about and wanted to see," boasts McCay. "I was gifted by a wonderful, private tour guide named Junko Matsuda. She was mentioned in Frommer's, the big travel book, and is considered the best guide. She knew Tokyo inside and out. We went everywhere together, 9 to 5, every day. We covered territory, laughed and had great time."

McCay shares some of the highlights of her vacation here.
