"he told me he'd given it to a friend!!!" Sorry Lin - I know it's a pain for you - but he really is useless!

The friend will give it back. I doubt he's just it much as their baby is only a bit over 6 months old, I think and probably a bit young to sit in this particular carrier. And I just booked my hotel in...

I didn't realise you were staying in Tokyo Lin. Are you staying close to the airport or in Tokyo itself? I'm planning on a few nights in Tokyo myself and can't decide where to stay.

The overnight stay on the way over is included in my ticket so they put me up in the Nikko Narita hotel. In Narita obviously. They also booked me a room in the same hotel on the way backed, though I...

I've read that Narita is one of the must sees while there, but somewhere a lot of people miss. Given my timeframes I might end up being one of those that miss it. I just don't know how I'm going to...
