Surprise Trip to Japan in November

[Kingmeow]

😲😲😲  $4,900 CDN for Premium Economy???!!!!  Probably because it's short notice since your are traveling in November.  But still!

Must be due to late notice... ANA has occasional sales for off-peak travel periods from Australia. For example, return to Tokyo economy can be around AUD $1000. Usually a direct flight as well, and sometimes they offer a free domestic flight if you book it all at the same time.

So my trip to Japan is set to take off at 9 AM tomorrow morning, weather permitting.  Yup, we have a wind warning up and ferries are all canceled for the night but hopefully it will have blown through by the time my first 13 minute puddle jumper flight is set to take off.  Now for some last minute packing....

 

I will do my best to provide photos while I am there.

Safe travels and buy lots of trains.  I have still yet to review my photos and post my haul.  It was rather big as we needed to buy a 45 liter nylon bag to hold it all.  🤣

OK, going to try and post some photos but since they are all coming off the phone we will see how that works!

 

Anyway a great trip over.  The bumpiest parts were the 13 minute puddle jumper to start, and the approach to Haneda.  Once landed I failed to follow the instructions my Japanese co-worker gave on which trains to take to get to the hotel which is near T-CAT.  So got a bonus ride on the monorail.  Other than that it's been a couple of subway rides, one during the Friday morning commute.  Saw the locomotive at the military museum, along with a Zero.  Also went to Tenshodo in Ginza.  Managed to be rather restrained.  Photos of purchases will happen when I am home.

 

More trains tomorrow as I go to The Train Museum.
