Introduction.

Hi everyone,

This is a quickly put together blog for my January 2013 trip to Japan. Hopefully I'll be able to update this whenever possible although I'm not sure what kind of connectivity to expect during the parts of the trip outside Tokyo.

This post is being written while I'm still in Melbourne. I'm almost completely packed and basically ready to go. While I won't be moving around much in the first half of the trip, I might be doing quite a bit of hopping about in the latter leg, so I've tried to pack as little as possible, although that has proved quite difficult

Getting to Japan will first require a domestic flight from Tullamarine to Cairns.
 


From there it's about a 7 and a half hour flight to Narita,..












..followed by a 5 hour shuttle ride to Hakuba, Nagano Prefecture where we will be staying for the Ski leg of the journey.

If all goes well we should arrive at our lodging late in the evening where we will most likely hit the hay straight away so we're up early and ready for some snowboard action! lessons.

That's it for now. I'll write some more once we get to Hakuba.

乾杯
-Simon.
