How long did you actually go for?

Miss Mandy

An interesting read, thanks guys. I've got a friend who should hopefully be representing Team GB at Tokyo 2020 so I'm starting to look into my options for getting out there to watch her.
It seems it's too early to actually book anything so I'm getting a list together of what I'd like to do and I'll hopefully be able to get sorted quite quickly once bookings are open.

It was 10 days but obviously travel is lumped into that.  That really wasn't enough time as it was a full on 10 days, feet have never hurt so much.

@Miss Mandy Also, seriously thinking of going in 2020 as well.  I have to go back and would imagine the Olympics will be awesome over there.  What other country would receive the Olympics like that last night!

Foster

Yeah I bet, I fly out on the 3rd Oct and land back here on the 19th.

Much better time frame then.  Im like a kid when I think about it and hope you enjoy it even 10% as much as I do.

Also bought my yen (rates are terrible 130Y to £) and reserved my seats, 6 weeks encounting.

Miss Mandy

Who are you flying with/from/to @Foster ?

Foster

Manchester to Dubai, Dubai to Narita Airport and flying with Emirates. If you can fly to Haneda.

Miss Mandy

Thanks Foster. I'll fly from Heathrow so should get a reasonable choice of flights.
Probably going to have to choose one with a stop somewhere as there seems to be a big difference in price. I'd rather go direct as I've never done a connecting flight before, but its £2-300 dearer per flight to go direct.

Foster

Yeah our stop over is 2hrs 30 mins so not bad tbh, stretch your legs have a mooch then back on the plane.
