2 more sleeps!!

I can't believe I leave in 2 days... I am SO excited!!!!!
I am going with four other people I have never met, on a tour organised by Travelscene American Express. I love the idea of going away with perfect strangers...

Things I want to do/see in Tokyo and surrounds (most of which is included yay!):

• Gaze upon Mt Fuji.
• Soak in an Onsen at Hakone.
• Sail in the pirate boat on Lake Ashi.
• Ride on the worlds second longest cable car - the Hakone ropeway.
• See the Tokyo skyline (including the Tokyo Tower) from somewhere really high at night.
• Visit the Tokyo Tower and go up to the observation decks (its 13m taller than the Eiffel Tower!)
• See a Kabuki show.
• Go Geisha spotting.
• Visit Shibuya and walk Hachiko crossing.
• Make sushi (and eat it).
• Drink sake (of course!).
• Shop!!!

We are staying in Roppongi - woot! woot! Thats very handy, and will be great for the ummm younger (but just by a smidgeon) members of the group for some serious clubbing if they want. I will of course be tucked up in bed with my knitting by 9pm (hehe).

One thing i won't be doing...Visiting Hello Kitty World :-( Its a bit far out, from what i can gather. This HAS NOT made me very popular in my household let me tell you. I offered to go to the much closer Pokemon Centre, which met with blank looks from my littlies. The teenager in the house informs me that, that stopped being cool a decade ago in OZ (about the same time i did haha!).
