parasitegirlWe have tickets in progress, I'll transfer the money soon.
And, ouch, even non-peak travel is costing me me aorund 1,300$USD. About 600$ of that is airport taxes due to increases in gas.
I just paid my yearly taxes in a lump sum intsead of over 6 months...and I think it was the right thing to do, but if my wallet had balls it would be clutching them and rolling about on the floor.
My travel dates to Seattle are:
I arrive September 12th (after having left Tokyo on, yes, the 12th) and will depart on the 22nd (arriving back on the 23rd) The Milkman's Sister has assured me that if I have an extra day or so of leave come September and if flights back to Japan are full and offering a sizable travel voucher to be bumped to the next day...to take that voucher! They'll understand.
The Milkman's Sister also tells me that, as far as our boss knows, ya'll who live in Seattle are my extended family. This is my 帰郷, trip HOME to see FAMILY. I am NOT a BAD DAUGHTER who hasn't been to my home state for over 3 years....I am visiting my family.
Sometime in that 10 day span I will take the train to Portland, maybe midweek.
Henna...I am so bad at tracking bumps...to the best of your knowledge, am I arriving in country prior to birth, after the birth, or possibly in that OMG when the FUCK is this thing going to LEAVE my BODY?!?" stage?
