No worries 🙂

There are 29 people booked on the main trip, so it's fully booked. There are 16 people booked on the Hong Kong add-on, so that's fully booked too!

Thanks,

Vickie

I am booked on this tour for April 2019, is there anyone else who will be travelling from the Midlands (and Birmingham), if so it would be nice to chat beforehand about how you will be travelling to the airport and any other relevant things that may be a help to each other. Cheers.

I notice that you contacted Derek sometime ago regarding taking medication. Did you contact the Embassy and did you have a reply because I e-mailed them sometime ago but never had a reply. If you did hear from them can you let me know the address you used please.

Many thanks,

Ken

Yes, I contacted the embassy before Christmas and they never replied either so I rang them and got my confirmation over the phone. The e-mail address to use is samuel.evans@ld.mofa.go.jp  

His number can be found on the Japanese Embassy website but I didn't keep a record of it so you can look it up there. Best to ring in my opinion as the guy was really helpful and dealt with things there and then.

Hi KenC, glad things are sorted for you, yes, Samuel's very helpful.

This community forum doesn't work very well for me, I don't get notified so missed your reply for a week or so.

Getting even nearer now.............
