More thoughts on Japan

[rkold]

I think I won a ticket to see HOSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEEEEEEEEEEEEE Now to just hope the person selling is reliable and didn't lie and all those other good things. I'm supposedly in row 12-14 seats 20-40 or something like that, so I ought to be relatively close and maybe everyone will see the dorky foreigner in! I will be able to see all the seiyuu and they won't look like dots, go me!

I discovered that February 27th/28 is Purim... and I'm not sure I want to miss Purim by being in Japan. So assuming I can get my doujinshi done on time which is a big assumption, though I am so definitely working on it today my new revised plan for Japan is as follows:

Leave for Japan Wednesday February 10 arrive Thursday February 11th
Friday February 12th shop (dinner with summer_queen ♥ )
Saturday February 13th (day with summer_queen ♥ )
Sunday February 14th (day with becroberts ♥ )
Monday February 15th (shopping in Tokyo)
Tuesday February 16th (shopping in Tokyo)
Wednesday February 17th (HAKONE/onsen! Night Kyoto)
Thursday February 18th (Kyoto/kansai sightseeing)
Friday February 19th (Osaka or more kansai sightseeing)
Saturday February 20th (Sato and dinner in Kyoto, jougetsu do you think you could make it to Kyoto for dinner, we could go to my favorite vegan place! ♥ Night Kyoto)
Sunday February 21st ( morning train to Yokohama BASARA FESTA hopefully both!)
Monday February 22nd (leave Tokyo for Takayama )
Tuesday February 23 (night Takayama and visit Shirkawa go)
Wednesday February 24 (either go to Hirayu onsen and then onto Matsumoto, does the bus run in the winter??? or back track to Tokyo)
Thursday February 25 (either Ueda and Bessho or skiing or something..though for GW might want to go to some of these places.)
Friday February 26th (HOME!)

The other option is to stay until Saturday February 27th. I would get a 2 week pass and start it either Saturday if I am going home on Friday or start it on Sunday if I am going home on Saturday.

Tell me I do not want to try skiing.. cause I keep thinking it might be awesome also some of my guidebooks say you can not take the bus from Hirayu to Matsumoto, but the bus schedule seems to suggest you can. I guess I need to ask at JapanGuide.

Sooooooo

triplepunch want to do a Sato funday on the 20th?
jougetsu want to join us all for dinner I am sure we can figure out somewhere yummy
hinoai are you available at all?
akaisakura you're busy at work most days, right?

I have a PCI membership too. I wonder if they were holding the rooms for something and then freed them up.

Or it could be that you were getting a different size room?

Could also be because she called the actual hotel? I've had hotels that claim there are no spaces on their owen website but then had spaces on a reservation site. o_O;

I've also booked rooms at the Sunshine 60 and gotten free upgrades to the bigger singles when the cheaper singles were all booked. lol

Could be -- I've never tried calling overseas to the Prince. ^_^

Maybe so? I booked a single room, made the booking early December.

Ah, I booked a single room, but I did it on 1/5. They may have sold out in the interim.
