Success!

It's done! I've finally booked my airfare (just managing to get a slightly lower sale fare before it ended), rail pass, and cell phone for Japan. Because of the locations of events I want to attend, I needed a 3 week pass. ~.~ So frustrating! I wish I could have gotten away with just 2 week.

I will be in Japan 10/5-10/22. Anyone who wants to meet up with me there, let me know and we can see if something is possible. I am going to be traveling around a lot. I still need to book a few more nights reservation and then I am set.

I'm a little stressed because I only have 1 hour between my flight arriving in SFO and my flight to Nagoya. If I flew to Osaka I'd only gain 30 minutes more (as well as need to pay $300 more) and going through LA to Tokyo doesn't help much and involves then getting from NRT to Kyoto, which even with a rail pass sucks vs. Nagoya which is much closer.

I know even with stops for food I can get from my gate to the Nagoya gate in 15 or so minutes, it's more... I am nervous about my flight being late. I guess if worse comes to worse, I can then waitlist for Osaka or Tokyo since both flights are later cause forcing me to spend 24 hours stuck in the SFO airport would be miserable and United is selling this booking knowing that anyone from NY has no choice but to take my flight. I'm hoping the fact it is one of the first flights of the day from JFK helps.

Wheeeeeee Japan!!!!!

Much love to twotone!!!! I got the possets I will send you a small package before you get back and I hope all is well and you had a safe flight!!!

Happy belated birthday to seaster, I hope you get your boy!
