Thoughts of a late night knitter

Here I am, finished the first leg of my journey. The six hour train trip to Cairns. It's actually only a 3 hour drive from my place and I was supposed to drive first thing tomorrow and park at my neighbour's sisters' place but that fell through. (Next time I want to try and meet up with my Cairns flister! she knows who she is :)) So I caught the train instead.

I've never caught it coming this way before, and besides the slowness, it was great. No stress with roadworks on the road and time to sleep :) I seem to be awfully tired somehow. I also had time to read a book and write a bit of my story, which isn't finished yet, sorry ladytalon. It will be soon I promise...

Tomorrow I'm off to the airport and on to my flight to LA. The flight goes via Japan and I'm actually going to get to spend time out of the airport! *bounces* I may freeze to death though - it's very cold for me about 8 degrees celsius and I don't have enough warm clothes :) No doubt I'll get by...

Stay tuned sometime Tuesday for a further report. Maybe the airport at Narita will have a fast internet connection where I can download some photos!

The Browncoat cruise is getting closer. Well not that close, it's in December. But to get a decent flight I have to make my plans way ahead...

I've booked and paid for my train fare from LA to San Diego! Yay! It makes the trip seem much closer somehow.

I've also booked my airfare, but haven't paid yet (thank god for payment plans!). I got a flight from Cairns to LA via Japan and actually end up with a day in Tokyo! Although I've been through the airport there approximately 1000 times (exaggeration here), I've never been outside except to the overnight hotel. Since I have a whole day I'm planning to do a whirlwind tour. Anyone with hints or tips on Tokyo and what to see in only one day?
