One step closer!

Two weeks and counting! And my visa authorisation from the Japanese government arrived today, so that's one more thing falling into place. Next step: Mel Invades the Japanese Embassy and Demands Paperwork!

Hi, I'm Melanie's Mum.
Last night friends of Melanie & I farewelled Melanie at Canberra Airport - after she had to repack her bag (for the second time!!) to reduce the excess luggage bill! She STILL had to pay over $200 and that was with a generous airport attendant looking after her.
Needless to say, I am thrilled for Melanie, hugely proud of her, and will miss her to bits. But, I am on my personal "budget from Hell" so Bill (my husband) and I can visit her in the Japanes spring. Fantastic!!

And I'm here! Made it!

(Tired. Very tired. Will post an actual journal entry soon...)

Fantastic, Sweetheart.
I'm sure you are exhausted.
Delighted to hear you are there- have passed it on!!
Love Mum

Yay! News that she's touched down and posted has spread like wildfire and there's now one very relieved boyfriend back in Canberra. No more jumping for the phone and shaving a few years off the cat's 9 lives. (Not twitchy at all!)

Yes, I'm also doing the mother of all budgets and hope to be there in 6-8 months time.
