See you all soon.

Julie

Just to confirm I also received my final documents on Wednesday.Like you all I am looking forward to the tour.Velma ,look forward to meeting you at Belfast City Airport.Hope you receive your documents soon.

Glad you received your docs.I totally agree about the very expensive optional tour of Hiroshima.I phoned JY about this yesterday,as I thought this would have been inclusive .

Julie

Got mine to so really excitted now. I am not sure about the Hiroshama trip I know I don't want to look at a museum about what happen as I don't need to be reminded how man can be so distructive. Anyway I am on my hols and Kyoto is such a fantastic place it maybe nice to spend the day there.

I meant to tell you all to watch NHK News on Sky. Its in English and has great programs on Japan, the news and the weather. I watch it all the time as I record some of the programs.

Wesley not sure how much time we will have at mt Fuji but you do need walking boots and water proofs as the weather can change very quickly (like most mountains).

Julie how are you getting to the airport from folkstone? I know its a bit of a trip I used to live in Whitstable so have been to Folkstone a few times.

Jayne

Jayne thanks for the advice but I will not be bringing walking boots because of Baggage Limit of 20kg for connecting flight from Belfast with BMI,they are too bulky as Velma has mentioned .

Velma, we have all booked this tour with JY,so travelling via Emirates is part of the package.I assume everyone else is in agreement?

Julie

Thanks for the clarification.I do not mind where I am seated actually!! ,but would like to know where other members of our tour group are seated on all 4 flights including yourself.If our group is together I suppose it would be better.I have travelled on my own lots of times so it is not essential as far as I am concerned

You are correct regarding are main baggage which is checked thru to Tokyo International from Belfast City Airport.This was confirmed when I checked the details on BMI website and by phone earlier.

The JY operator was unable to confirm this at the time a few weeks ago, so I assumed we had to collect at Heathrow.Sorry for any confusion.

I will let you know next Wed at Belfast City Airport,the seats I have selected which are near to yours.Thanks for your advice on this.

Julie I will also be getting a taxi shame we are not nearer to each other as we could have shared.

Jayne

Seems like the 3 of us are seated in close proximity on the Emirates flights i.e Velma,Jayne and myself.Look forward to meeting you all on Wednesday.Started packing my suitcase today with excitement.
