OK - the plans thus far...

Right, well now I've got this baby set up I had best get the first post written to put the creative juices to use before they dry up. My ticket is all paid for and my itinerary sorted - I am off Friday 1 August! It is a mere five weeks away so I am beginning the brick shitting process as I realise just how much I need to achieve in that period of time. Luckily I have a list! One cannot fail when one has a complete and comprehensive list to follow, here's hoping that mine is not actually sketchy and inadequate.

I paid for the hotel for my two day stopover in Tokyo today, and then decided to check TripAdvisor to see if I had made a terrible mistake. Most people seem to think the hotel I have chosen is quite decent, and I really only need the room for sleeping in so things look good in this department. Well, some reports said the bed was too soft for comfort, others said it was hard as a board, one person said it was super lumpy (ew) and the rest said it was fine so I hope that the laws of probability will work in my favour. If I happen to get the lumpy bed I guess I can always request a room change and maybe score an upgrade to the hard as a board one.

Count down to departure: 37 days (eek!)
