J Day + 27 and 28...

At Kagoshima airport having a surprisingly westernised 'last supper' with Tom before boarding our flight to Tokyo Haneda. By the time you read this we probably be on the second part of the journey to Heathrow. Luckily our bags were transferred directly and we didn't need to collect then for the overnight stay. I think Tim is secretly hoping the bags are temporarily 'lost' and the next time we see them will be when they are delivered to Salt!!



We are bringing a couple of bags back for Tom. He leaves Japan in the summer and he is more concerned with packing and shipping his bike than he is with clothes and books - the difference between sons and daughters!!

The holiday has been magnificent and we shall be sorry to leave Tom, but looking forward to seeing RHiannon. 

One last, but not very clear, view of Fujisan from our hotel at the International terminal.

  2. A fabulous trip and I've enjoyed following your adventures. I'm also quite curious to know if the plane managed to take off with that amount of luggage?!

    1. It always amazes me that a plane can take off at all! Great holiday, but all good things come to an end so back home to real life....

      Thanks.

    1. Thanks, Kerry.

      Back, but a bit jet lagged with irregular sleeping patterns. :0(, but worth the disruption.
