Japan Trip - Part 2
I've told people that in my experience where in I've had problems which felt as if the whole world was on my shoulders but in the end, things always work out somehow. As evidenced per my last blog, Donna and I were starting to lose sleep over the issue of our booking confirmations. However, the day after I posted that blog, a rep from EVA Air called first thing in the morning saying our flights have all been confirmed!
Truth be told, I don't really have any right to complain what with all the blessings that we continuously receive. We had the cool chance to retire at age 53, we're now in California and we'll be leaving for Japan tomorrow!
Is that cool or what??
We're checking in tomorrow Wednesday night since our flight will be at around 1 am Thursday morning. We'll be arriving in Taipei on Friday morning of the 29th and we'll be in Narita at around 1 pm. Manami should be waiting for us at the airport. Reggie couldn't be there, he had to work. We'll end up riding the train that's why we're trying our best to travel light as much as we can. Donna had already packed two door-to-door boxes so we don't have to lug all kinds of luggage around and pay so much for storage at the Narita airport. Yes, Donna, bless her heart, as usual is packing for the both of us. This time I sort of have an excuse. My allergies turned to a severe chest cold and I was miserable during our last night in Las Vegas. Oh, didn't I mention we were in Las Vegas for the Memorial Day weekend? There were a lot of people taking advantage of the long weekend in spite of the on going economic crisis. We had the chance to watch Terminator - Salvation at the movie theaters at the Orleans. The only downside with our Las Vegas stay - Donna's team, the Lakers lost to the Denver Nuggets by a lot!
So, yes our luggage and accommodation issues are just really minor things at this time. Reggie was saying the apartment is packed with stuff so there might not be enough room for us but I figured how hard is it to make room for us. We're not that big!
By the way, another catch to our trip - we have a really long layover in Taipei before our flight to Manila on June 13. We'll arrive in Taipei on the night of June 12 but our flight to Manila won't be till 9 the next morning. When we were in Europe we spent the night at the Madrid airport TWICE! So we figured, hey no biggie, Taipei should be no different.
I guess I'll have to post Eph's pre-birthday dinner blog and pictures when we get to Japan.
JAPAN, HERE WE COME!
