Okay! You are going to have a great time I have no doubt because there are many beautiful places to see! Also, you really should drop Kaboom an email to see if you could catch up with her! I know she would love it! It might be hard to get it in since the itinerary is jammed packed but at try to give a shot! The flight will be fine, just take your Kindle, e. g. and/or a good book or two and it will keep you occupied! Remember Kabu flight almost every year to Australia and it had been just fine! You are going to be to Japan and back before I am in my house! Too crazy! The most important thing is to have all the fun you possibly can! sam

You little worry-wart you! Of course your trip will be both fine, and memorable. You may be somewhat nervous and apprehensive now, but that's perfectly understandable. And I would make sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that Smooch is in good hands before I left ( I'm sure he will be ). By the way - that was one hell of a game last night between the Habs and Boston, wasn't it? I wish my Rangers looked that good . . .

I am so happy you are going. You do for others all the time and this time others want to do for you. It will be amazing, safe and wonderful. The Lord is with you, I just asked him to be an all will be wonderful except that we will miss you.

Think of only the positives, no squirrely DIL, no dawgs to worry about, good food all the time. Good sleeps, big bed no early wake ups. In addition to all of that never has a plane failed to return to earth in the history of aviation. I'm not the pilot.Last but not least you have to call me just to make sure I'm still breathin' sis. LOL

I just know that everything...and I mean everything both at home while you are gone, and abroad while you are there...will go smoothly and wonderfully well, so you mustn't worry.

I am so, so thankful that it is you going and not me.  LOL

I do understand your concern about the doggies - but that's your only worry, and I'm sure it will be dealt with! As for the rest - I know this will be an absolutely fabulous trip! You'll get to see a whole new world, something you will cherish for the rest of your life. And if you need someone to carry your luggage - I'm available! I'll even brush up on my 'female' Japanese...

You will see things you never saw before, things you never

in a million years would have expected. You'll be immersed in a culture you've only dipped your toe up till now, and you'll come home again with your mind swamped with new things to think about. Your family there will be treated to an introduction to the Canadian character, they will be happily impressed. The doggies, being the gentlemen they are, will form a bond with the GF, who will come through in exemplary fashion. And when you get home, much of the winter's snow will have melted and there will be blooming things. Work can wait just this once.

There, how's that?

Now I feel bad cos I so love you and I didn't really mean to kick you Butt

onto that plane, well I did but no so mean. xxxxxxx, specially when I am reluctant to go travelling myself this time.

pack the bags, tell your nice neighbour your concerns for the doggies,

maybe your friend who just moved would like your house for a few days....the plane won't fall out of the sky. Take two pills and go to sleep.Drink water not wine, we don't want to dehydrate now we aren't a teenager.

Just go with the flow, let these lovely people take all the worry about life for a few days.

I do know when Japanese tourists come to Australia. they get on tours that rush them all over the place in a few days. The bus stops just long enough to take a picture then off they go to somewhere else.

These lovely people are showing you great respect...so just button up, smile, and do this for the kids.

Oh yes, the trip will be a blast. I would probably have concerns as well were I to be going away somewhere, but at the end I imagine that I would find myself having a swell time. I base that off of past experiences.

EPrepare as fast as Japanese workers in Japan. Maybe you could just go into a store around you and buy gift items. Lol. Then you won’t have to travel to Japan love. BC-A, Bill’s R®st

"Do, rather than Don't"

Except, don't stress over things that aren't important, aren't likely to happen...  And do trust other people to find a way to do what needs doing.  

This trip will be an adventure, and you will have the memories.  What will you have, if you opt out?
