Japan Trip - May 2011

[Giles]

We have tried multiple times to get a group deal - on any kind of deal for that matter.  Epic fail every time…........Even when I have had Ayumi wade in on our behalf...........

[Geo]

yip - just been told

we have in-place discounts with dozens of hotel chains . . . this one isn't a chain

[Giles]

Mmmmmmm, more like a link….

[hectic]

Shit, I just looked at flight prices, they are not overly insane….

[Giles]

I think we normally reckon on about GBP500….

[hectic]

I've never been to Japan….

all flexible

return is now not certain - might need to stop in india . . . as soon as anyone gets wind on me being in an area you dumped with the 'well you're passing that way anyway' routine  :-\

[Giles]

So I'll try and make the Iron Heart visit later in the week…..

[Geo]

would you have been arriving early on the monday?

[Giles]

Not sure yet.  Getting Harakis availability that week.  There is the Flat Head and RJB show on 16-19 which I need to go to and if you are around you should come to that too…

[Beatle]

Geo - arrival 17th and flying back on 21th oe 22nd would be my plan as well…

[Geo]

cool then Beats . . . the indian thing is set for 23rd but that could change by a day or so beyond and my view would be stay in tokyo rather than delhi

Giles - I'll leave my flights at that then . . . and be delighted to see any of the FH/RJB as well as the good stuff 

[Giles]

OK.  It looks like IHUKHQ will hit Tokyo on morning of Mon 16th and leave the following Sat or Sun.

Haraki and the Hachioji and Tokyo crew are keeping the Thurs and Fri free for us…................

[Beatle]

awesome news….beer with Haraki and my favorite chicken, can't wait....

[Giles]

Oh, but you wait until you meet Tom, she is just SOOOOOOOOOOOOO delightful.  You will not leave a metting with her without feeling that anything could possibly mess up the next 6 months…........

[Geo]

this is supacool . . . I am genuinely excited (f-ck I met Giorgio Armani years ago through work and I didn't give a rat's ass - but this . . .)

[Beatle]

lol…she looks like fun - I am actually convinced that I will only meet great people ...super excited

[nameness]

I just made the mistake of looking at tickets…  they're relatively cheap.

I will now ignore this thread.
