I’m packing items that will hopefully make the long-haul flight more comfortable.
I’m dreading the 12 hour flight the most. Flying for more than 6 hours tends to make me anxious and uncomfortable. I have been gradually adding to my personal item/carry-on bag. Hoping the foot hammock and sleep mask are helpful. Will also be bringing earplugs and noise canceling headphones. As well as an iPad with pre-loaded podcasts and tv shows. I am a bit OCD about checking for my passport as well. One of my worst fears is losing that thing and being stuck. I followed recommendations online on various precautions you can take. Also afraid of there being a mega quake and tsunami, but I’m not going to let my mind go there >.< nothing I could do to stop it anyway *shrug. I can take steps to keep myself from misplacing my passport tho!
We picked up our Yen from the bank today!
I LOVED that the cashier we worked with at the bank today was totally into Japan travel. He has been four times and is planning another trip! As we received our special order of yen, he regaled us with many stories and bits of advice. He said we would love it and not want to come home. I appreciated his passion and excitement.
Also $525 equals about $72,000 Yen. It looks like so much money$$$!!!!!!
