It's somewhat sinking in right now that I'm going to be in Japan. Heh heh heh. I'm also starting to get real nervous about how much money to bring/how much I'm going to end up spending, and things like that. If I find myself going a bit overboard (which I will most certainly take pains not to), I can justify it by putting it in perspective -- I'll just be using the money I'd normally have spent on hotel costs! I start to feel accomplished, but then I realize I'm already making excuses for myself. And I've already spend $200 in tickets for US concerts. And I haven't even given the ticket money to Wenia yet. =( And, goddamit, I want to know what seats we have! Waaaa~!

I went to Target to give in and get myself that 4-piece luggage set that costs $40. It's a 24-inch upright case, a 19-inch carry-on upright, a 15-inch tote, and a toiletry kit. It's probably not the highest quality, but it'll do. Besides, it was on sale for $35; so there. It's a bright "Athens blue", so I'm hoping it'll be easy to spot.

In any case, I've been really freaking on what shoes to bring.

How long are you trying for? Staying with a friend or at a hotel? ^^ And you'll have to let me know what kind of plane deal you got (if you go)!

If I can go, it'll be with my friends for probably a week. (Tokyo area, most likely.)

Great prices for plane tickets here.

If you travel in the off-season, you can probably get round-trip tickets for $400. For us, since we wanna go in summer, it's around $800 or so.

For hotel, my friend showed me this ryokan.

For 4 people for a week, it'd come out to around $200 per person, which is awesome!

My friends and I aren't entirely sure when we're going and all that yet but I hope it works out. Good luck!
