If you are a terrorist, please do not read this (Carnival Flights... kinda)

[dr4b]

Yay, I'll see everyone in a month and a half!

Flights so far for my Carnival trip:

Saturday April 12, 2008
Depart Tokyo 4:55pm
Arrive Seattle 9:34am

Sunday April 20, 2008
Depart Pittsburgh 9:40am
Arrive Chicago 10:18am
Depart Chicago 12:01pm
Arrive Tokyo 3:05pm (on Monday April 21)


You might notice that I don't have a flight listed from Seattle to Pittsburgh, and that's because I haven't decided yet exactly when I'm going, but I wanted to at least commit to the international trip, confirm vacation days, go get a re-entry permit, etc. My guess is that I'll fly to Pittsburgh on a red-eye Wednesday->Thursday, but...

What will probably determine the length of my Pittsburgh stay is -- well, er, can anyone who still actually lives in Pittsburgh let me crash at their place for a few days during Carnival? I can trade Japan stuff for couch!

Be sure to drop me a line when you're here!

Lemme talk to Bayani - if you don't mind the fact that we won't be totally moved in yet, you could crash at our place. We'd even have an actual guest room for you ;)

Sure, sounds good to me. I've even got something I'd like to ask you to find in Japan, since it seems impossible here in the States. I'll even offer to take you to Papa J's, this little Italian restaurant, like you said I could when you sold me the DDR games.

Just, uh, not April 12-13, unless you want to drop by Tekkoshocon, because that's where I'll be.... But since I'll probably call of 4/14 with Peruvian Death Flu, we can hang out or something.

It'd be more like April 17-19. Carnival time, I'm gonna be in Seattle the first half of my trip.

[dr4b]

Heh, I was thinking you guys would be too busy moving to have a house guest, but... that would be pretty cool.

Aw, you're gonna miss the intern game beta (4/19-20) :P

[dr4b]

Bah, I don't think I can justify spending a weekend for something like that. If it was puzzle hunt, I could :)

BUT I hope I get to see you when I'm in town! Maybe I can come out to Microsoft some afternoon or evening to visit people and make the rounds... or maybe there'll have to be a games party somewhere (Ballard? or I can try to make Drew and Jason have one?) or something like that!

We have space, even an entire bed in a room by itself, but we're not anywhere near campus. On the upside, I have to drive to work for Carnival, so you'd have a ride to and from campus (I'm assuming you're not renting a car, yes?)

We're also not moving. And we have three cats. But you've had cats, and aren't allergic, so you won't die on us :)

If you want, tell me, I'll finish cleaning up what I was doing in there. Mostly, opening boxes and saying, "What is all this CR*P and why am I carrying it around? That's it! Freecycle!"

[mj2q.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you have a lot of offers for space, but somehow if all twenty two fall through you would be welcome here too.

It feels weird that I can't also jump on the bandwagon, but instead *I* have to bum for couches.

[dr4b]

Heh, at least I know how to get to your place really well :)

(well, we'll see, I'm not sure whether it's a good idea for me to stay at B&K's place if they are still moving in at the time, actually...)

[cellio]

They put Carnival on the same weekend as Passover? Bummer. I guess this'll be yet another time when I miss seeing you.

[bhudson.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I need to buy tickets too...

You're going to Carnival? AWESOME!!!

[bhudson.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I should try to get on that flight back with you :)

[dr4b]

Oh that would be really fun!
I still have to figure out if I want to rent a car or not. Maybe we could carpool or at least ride back to the airport together or something...
