OH.MY.GOSH.

I just realized I only have one more full weekend left in the US before my trip @__@;
Gosh how to spend it...
This will take some thinking yup!

But based on my last post, I do have some updates. I got antsy and went ahead & looked up all that info XD

luggage delivery: I finally took the time to measure my largest suitcase, and it is in fact the exact limit for the airlines I'll use + the delivery services in Japan, good thing! Since it'll be the largest size, it costs 1790 yen ($21) to ship~ Tamsyn said I can just drop off my carry-on at her place after she picks me up, then we can go hang out until I meet up with Mami :D

sending boxes: unlike Japan, which lets you ship SAL (2 weeks) or Sea (1 month), all USPS has is Priority (3-6 days) or 2-day, so basically they cost an arm & a leg >__>; Their largest box ships 20lb for $50 Priority, so I guess I'll be going with that. Luckily, I ordered a free set of boxes from their site + this means I have another week to figure out what to send (instead of needing to get it out in the mail tomorrow) :D

prepaid phone: After checking Softbank's website, I was able to figure out the charges for all their prepaid phones, and based on that I will be getting the 821SC model in white. Why? Because it's the cheapest ($50), and I'll only be using it for 2 months (until I get my visa/foreigner status ID) after which I can get a regular plan, yay!! And luckily I still have my phone I used last year, which is a black 922SH. Funny thing is you click on that link, the first color choice for the phone is labeled as "Blonds gold," though the correct spelling would be "Bronze gold" - that just made me laugh~ Maybe I should work for Softbank instead...haha. Anyway, just have to make sure I can find the Softbank kiosk after I ship off my luggage~

Ticket Finalizations

WHEEEEEEE, I'm on a high right now :D Why you ask? Because:

1) I'm running on a very awkward sleep schedule (slept from 5am-12pm today)

2) I just had chocolate (sugarrrr)

3) I BOUGHT MY TICKETS TO JAPAN ♥

I know I know I'm waiting too long to buy such important things, BUT I did get a great deal, so yay for Japanese travel agents!! I used HIS TRAVEL to book my flight, and since they're Japan-based, it's much cheaper :3

I'll be getting in on Monday the 6th and shall have a week to get adjusted before my work starts on the 13th. I've been doing a LOT of checking on things to make (especially) my first day back an easy transition. For example:

luggage delivery: it's a VERY large pain trying to take huge suitcases on 2 hour long train rides across the city (especially making 2-4 transfers), so I'll be sending me luggage by next day delivery from the airport :D Which means I'll just have to figure out what to do with my carry-on~ And prices are pretty reasonable - about $18-$20 to have it delivered.

prepaid phone: Softbank has 2 kiosks in Narita airport in my arrival terminal, and they both sell prepaid phones, so I will have access to technology as soon as I land, BAM!! I would just use my iPod touch (with skype), but wi-fi isn't as highly used in Tokyo as the US :/ If you'd like me to send you a text message when I land (which'd be around midnight in the US), let me know!!

sending things ahead of time: I'm planning on sending 1-2 boxes ahead of time (aka within the next week) to my address in Japan, so that they'll arrive the same time I do, aka making things easier :D I don't want to send too much though, since buying the daily items I'll need in Tokyo will be an overall cheaper route than shipping (which costs $60-$100 per box, ouch ><;).


And I'm actually very excited about my plane schedule this year. My flight out of Nashville is at 6am = being at the airport before 5 = leaving around 4am = I won't be sleeping the night before, yay :D I plan on just zonking out on my flight to Chicago and then again on the byutiful 13 hour flight to Tokyoooo~
