WANTED: Travel buddy to Tokyo
For the weekend of March 11-12, I plan on visiting Tokyo, leaving JCMU immediately following the Friday Project on March 10 and taking the JR trains in the direction of Tokyo (end destination still undetermined). The trip will last at least 7 hours but because we will be using the Seishun 18 ticket (which we can split one or each have our own), and it will only cost 2300 yen. Once in the Tokyo area, I intend to visit Kamakura to see the Daibutsu, Akihabara to do some shopping and general wandering around, making brief stops at the 3 Hard Rock Cafe’s in the area (maybe), but otherwise I have nothing planned. I am thinking of maybe staying overnight at a ryokan/onsen in Hakone (outside of Tokyo and close to Mt. Fuji). To get back to JCMU, I am tentatively planning on taking the ‘Midnight Nagara’, a night train that runs from Tokyo station to Nagoya station, which you can use the Seishun 18 ticket on. That or I will take the Shinkansen back late Sunday night.
Applicants can forward their resume to…..my comments box.

I’ll be going to Tokyo that same weekend, but I’ll be staying there for free and don’t know if my friend could accomodate everyone.
I’ve not finalized the plan to go yet, but if I do everyone should pick a day and meet up for lunch or dinner or something (I vote for Shibuya).

Hi, just caught up on your blog entries since Hokkaido trip. Your reference to the spider ejecting itself from the letter cracked me up. Only 54.02.36.42 left!! Love ya.

Note: I meant “lettuce” not letter. Must be alzheimers-lite.
