Who is NOT going to LA Dolpa in November? Why me! My family ALWAYS comes before any hobby, and my parents would be devastated if I missed Thanksgiving. I strongly suspected they were going to make it this particular week end because I believe the 23rd is a holiday in Japan and maybe they were hoping to lure in more Japanese attendees.

I'm sort of wondering how that is going to work with Doll Show in October and Dolpa in December and most sewing circles having day jobs. ^^;;

That and they need to pay their own way.

Wow - what timing... I'm going to try and make it solo, but everyone's traveling around that time and flights from Hawaii are uber expensive. X____X *sigh*

I really have no idea what flights to and from Hawaii are like now. I looked many yeas ago as I had wanted to go for my honeymoon, but we just didn't have the money at the time ;;_;;

BTW have you ever thought about going to a Dolpa in Japan? Is airfare to Japan similarly priced to LA?

My flight would be over $400 and when you include hotel it just seems like an awful lot. Plus I would have to fly out on Fri or Sat and fly home Mon.

Secretly, I think I am going to work to get my sister to fly home from CA instead >>;

Prices seem to be about $350-1500 depending on the days and times of flight. X_X;; Part of me wonders if I should try and book my flight now with the prices I see. >_>;; I have a good chance at grabbing a room with friends, which will help cut costs... *sigh*

Flights to Japan from Hawaii run about $800-1000. I hear it's cheaper for folks to fly from the mainland than here.. (How that works, I have no idea. T_T;)

Gah! I had no idea. Yes, for me it is closer to $750 if it is off season and I fly into Tokyo or Nagoya. It's more if I fly in and out of Osaka, but since my good friends live in Kansai it is usually worth it.

If you can get $350 and you think you can definitely go... I doubt it will be lower.

BTW have you checked JTB for flights to Japan or just airline's sites? JTB often has much lower prices, I'm seeing $700 or so round trip to Tokyo for the summer and it should be lower in the Fall.
