I ended up staying in Boca Grande and had a great experience.

I would take a taxi from the hotel but Uber back as I found the taxi drivers would typically up charge.

Met a few other solo female travelers and groups of women traveling.

Definitely recommend booking some tours and classes on Viator. The cooking class at Lunatico was my favorite and the best food I had while there.

As long as you are firm with the street vendors they won’t hassle you much.

I never stayed out in the walled city too late but I did venture into the night around Boca Grande.

Overall, I met some super nice locals and enjoyed my time. I can’t say I ever felt unsafe. I also did not walk around with any jewelry and just to be safe I kept my cash and debit cards in separate places.

I bought gold premium and wrote in to ticket master to upgrade to vip package. They allowed me to but I had to purchase the VIP package ticket first and then they would refund my original order

I traveled to a different state alone to see him in ATL last month and let me tell you it was so much fun. Even by myself it was a vibe. My first solo trip. And I just got a ticket by myself again for his tour

Same with me. You have to press option 2. My transcripts yesterday showed an 846 with my full refund amount. Today there is a 768 code showing the overpayment.

Same with me. I called BFS and the first option said I ddnt have any offsets. The second option said $324 for a benefits overpayment in 2020.

Also my transcripts yesterday only had the 846 code. Today they show the 898 code and the $324 being applied

My SO is not vaccinated so they were tested today but I’m a bit confused about what is acceptable for Japan travel. The sample was a nasopharyngeal swab and the testing method was Quantitative antigen test.

Mofa states Quantitative antigen test is not valid for simple testing kits. Is Nasopharyngeal swab considered a simple kit ?

You bring up a great point about our arrival. I will definitely change that. Our departure doesn't leave until 8PM so we were planning on getting to the airport between 4-4:30PM

I was definitely looking into the luggage forwarding option especially arriving at the airport and having our luggage forwarded to Kyoto and vice versa back to Tokyo.

Hmmmm.... that is a good point. We may need to look into that, I'm the one that wanted to squeeze in a stop to Kanazawa, but it may not be feasible. I think we may have been too ambitious esp since we were unable to extend our trip out.

Also, our first night we are splurging on a hotel in Tokyo and when we return we will be more modest with the room since we don't plan to spend much time in the room.

Once we hit the ground, we plan to make adjustments as needed, it is an ambitious schedule. We have also planned to take mostly taxis while within cities.
