Flight Booked

I'm getting used to life with my thumb out of my arse. I even booked my flight today. How's that for moving things along. And it means I have a deadline for everything else. And that deadline is April 23rd Ladies and Gentlemen, at 6.15am. Who knows there might still be some Cherry Blossom left to have a look at.

I went on Lastminute.com and found the cheapest flight possible to Tokyo on that day. £360 one way. Not bad from what I gather, but I'll probably have Deep Vein Thrombosis when I get there.

I arrive in Tokyo Narita Airport at 7.50am(local time) on the 24th, where I will hopefully be met by someone who might be able to tell me what the hell I've let myself in for.

This isn't the only thing I've done since my last post. I've even wired some money to Japan for a ticket to Fuji Rock Festival. That's in July and Ash and Kaiser Chiefs will be there, as well as the out-of-hiding Kula Shaker and a return for The Cure. Should be good then.

Of course I won't be sticking to the bands I've heard of. You should never do that anyway, but if the festival is on the other side of the world then it'd be rude not to check out some of the local talent.

My next steps are to check that my money has gone through so that I can go to the festival, and to tell Real Gap that my flight is booked so that they can organise my accommodation and somebody to tell me the rules. It's really moving forward and I'm not even that scared (yet). I Just can't wait to get out of Ticehurst and do something for myself for a change.
