I'm making some progress, after weeks of procrastination - first 6 nights of my trip are sorted, as well as the ferry booking!
Of course, there have been consequences, as accom and car booking for the shared part of my trip with my friends is basically sold out, so I've had to book somewhere a 30 minute drive from where they're staying (and gotta rely on the public bus to get to and fro - it's Japan, we'll survive). Crossing our fingers something will come through with a car booking in that period even for just one day.
Now to do the next 9 days. And travel insurance and a damn travel SIM. I got this...
Meanwhile at least I've done all my laundry and it's drying nicely in the sun. I'm afraid my plants are at the bottom of the list atm.
Need to still make dinner tonight. Tomorow, packing and more cooking.
ooh jelly.
Pls bring back some (a lot) of veg gyoza for us.

Are you off to Japan? Have a great time. I was there late May / early June last year and the weather was perfect. Warm but not too hot and before the brutal summer humidity hits. Iโm keen to go back and travel Hokkaido.
Yes, in a few days. I've been a bit worried about the heat and humidity given there'll be quite a bit of hiking and maybe a bit of cycling - we'll be around the southern parts of the island - but it looks quite manageable!
Yay! I got an eSIM from Sim corner last year for Europe. It was pretty straightforward (if you have a phone that can take a dual Sim and an eSIM). Just left mine in place and set up eSIM for data overseas
Sadly my phone(s) don't handle eSIMs yet. That would've made it so easy! My current phone can do dual physical sims though
