We'll just have to wait and see...

With the dreadful news coming out of Japan, it may well affect our plans. At least we have 3 weeks before we go, and so we should have plenty of time to sort things out, if we have to make changes.

And, the way we have set up our itinerary, we have more than a few days leeway, to adjust flights and times, etc. Nothing in the earlier part of the trip is paid for, except of course the airfares, but with Travel Insurance, we should be covered, and there has already been a notice from JAL to say there will be no fees for people who have already booked, and are holding tickets, and have to make changes.

Those early arrangements, are just bookings at this point, so we should be able to change them.
We could either go earlier, or even return later if necessary, depending on what eventuates.

Yet another one of the benefits of being retired!
