juin, my leave got approved

[afuna]

JUJU MY LEAVE JUST GOT APPROVED. I WILL BE IN JAPAN FOR NINE DAYS IN MARCH. Ummm. Some of it is going to be traveling around, so I may not see you for more than a day or two, but Japan, Juju, and you, Jujuju. For real, and certain, unless something interferes which I hope nothing does and oh man I have got to start saving up not that I don't really have some money saved up, but I need some more money I think. And I need to brush up on my Japanese again because I have forgotten everything I ever knew *dork*. And and. And!

And.

I should visit Japan again sometime. Last time was over 20 years ago and that's far too long.

[afuna]

I was last in Japan almost 20 years ago, but it doesn't count because I was a very young kid, it was just a stopover on the way to the US, and we didn't actually see anything but our hotel room.

Where in the U.S. were you going that Japan was on the way? ;)

[afuna]

I came from the Philippines, heading to California :-) We headed north a bit, stayed in Japan, then boarded a different plane with a slightly shorter flight time than a direct flight ;-) (though the full travel time was obviously longer)

Okay, so nine days is like... March 15 to 23, wasn't it? That covers at least three days that I'll have off, maybe four depending on your departure time. TAKE YOUR PICK. 8D I will be completely at your disposal on any day that I have off while you're here... we'll go shopping in Ikebukuro! I'll treat you to dinner (and lunch and afternoon tea)! You can come home with me where I will tie you up and keep you in my closet forever! (PRETEND I DIDN'T SAY THE LAST PART ALOUD.)

I am excited.

[afuna]

YES YES YES. UMMM. I think it shall be near the end that we shall be in Tokyo. There's a tour thing, but I shall split from them when we get to the Tokyo area :DDD And and and and. We shall be together, yes? :DDD I want to spend a day with you, and hopefully we don't drive each other crazy or anything like that <333333

By near the end, you mean... how near? Because my weekend falls early on in those nine days, and then I have the 20th off because it's a public holiday. Otherwise, it's only the 23rd left, unless you want to hang out on the evening of the 22nd (and you could crash at my place and we could make it an all-nighter!). Or something. Do you know anything more definite? Like when your flight home is?

[afuna]

I will have an answer for you tomorrow <3

Mmkay. ♥

[afuna]

I think 21 or 23 I may be able to pull away? The earlier days, we're in the Osaka area :D

[juin.livejournal.com]

That only leaves the 23rd, then. But you're leaving on the 23rd, aren't you?

[afuna]

Mmmm, yes. But...what time do you get off on the 22nd? Maybe I can sneak off with you after your work on 22, and then stay with you up until a few hours before our flight? :D

[juin.livejournal.com]

I finish work at 7:00, so I could meet you in Ikebukuro by around 8:00. Or if you could manage to find me in Shiki, then we could meet up even earlier... and we could hang out around home, then go out to Ikebukuro on Sunday morning. :D :D :D

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

WOAH! Congratulations on the awesome vacation plan and all that planning, diplomatic skill, and sheer luck to make sure everything pushed through. :D

Send home pix please? I am deathly curious, and utterly jealous, though I think I could not survive going solo like you are.

Anyhoo, enjoy!

[afuna]

Ummm. Not going solo. going with family :) But I plan to take pictures! I hope I remember XD

[habeo.livejournal.com]

Oooh. :D Then all the better - the more the merrier!

My folks have been toying with the idea about going there over summer, but alas, no contacts (apart from possibly Sumida-sensei) and really expensive stuff there and me being the only *REALLY interested* party in the family to go to Japan make it low on the list.

But I'm not complaining. I often kick and scream (ok, maybe not kick) about not wanting to go on a [boring] vacation overseas with no internet and stuff, but I end up appreciating the place just the same. :D

[afuna]

IT is! And very happy (<33)
