I'm happy to go with the flow on this.

Now, what time is the Friday skype call? Did I miss that vital portion? I will try to be there for it!

I won't be able to Skype it up Friday, then again, I can't make any promises (to myself!) on this until later in this year.

So whatever plans are made, so be it.

Plus, I have to work in meeting up with my family.

I checked with Stoat, and this is now the Official hotel that we are going to book for the Tokyo portion of the trip. YAY. We can all be together once more.

(and we love Shinjuku area too...)

Man... I would love to go to Fujikyu Highlands with you crazies.

Chernabog · 02-20-2008, 01:11 PM

Are we gonna make a pit stop at Nara Dreamland? :P

innerSpaceman · 02-20-2008, 01:54 PM

If we want to look at the ruins.

NA & €uro, would you be willing to visit the Ghibli museum again? (Um, that's a rhetorical question).

What else is MUST-SEE in Nippon?

And I need to set aside a good amount of time for shopping, not kidding. I'm going to buy an entire wardrobe in the land where they sell men's clothing in my size! (fka the land of the rising sun.)

blueerica · 02-20-2008, 02:00 PM

Well, if I can go, I would be planning a side trip down to the island of Kyushu to visit family, outside of my family that is in Tokyo. Anyone who would want to come with me would be more than welcome. There are hot springs, and other relaxing things to do.

Off Topic: I've always wanted to take a camping trip through Japan. Do Mt. Fuji and do some hiking and biking in Hokkaido, which I understand has some interesting terrain. Someday, someday.

Ghibli is a MUST (again) for me. I'd also like to visit the park that is near there that was the inspiration for the setting of Spirited Away. We were only there 7 or 8 days, so there's lots we didn't see. Personally, I'm up for spending a day at TDS and possible another day at TDL, but beyond that, I'm all about Tokyo itself.

I really have not any research about what I would be interested in outside of the city proper.

innerSpaceman · 02-20-2008, 08:04 PM

Yeah, i want to see some of JAPAN. Fuji-san for starters.

Tokyo will tickle me, but only for a few days. After that, it's just another city. I want to see some of the stuff that makes Nippon different from other metropolitan areas (besides the bigger and brighterness of Tokyo).

I'm not gonna shortchange DisneySeas though. It's a large part of my impetus.

The biggest part of my impetus, however, is the Lashpair.

I'd be going on this journey if we were meeting them in Gambia.

Hmmmm - methinks this opinion is subject to change
