Hi,
    (Assuming it's safe to travel/there's a vaccine..)

    I am not a fan of traveling to Hiroshima. The BBF has met there a handful of times, and I've been, but I'm perplexed as to why we'd go there when there's Tokyo, which is a direct flight for a lot of us, has far more to offer in terms of accommodations/food/things to do, and for those who want to explore Japan, they'll often connect in Tokyo anyhow. I'd strongly prefer NOT to have Hiroshima as a city on the list. I understand we might want to change it up a bit, but I don't see what the upside here is, other than a change of scenery.

Thanks
Sarah
