OH MY GOD I HAVE TICKETS, I HAVE EFFING TICKETS TO GO TO JAPAN, I'M GOING OMG
Edit: Oh right, details.
So Daniel's going to Japan for
work, for 2 friggin months. He leaves in just over 2 weeks and we're going to miss our anniversary. I KNOW I only ever used to do long distance stuff so not having him for 2 months shouldn't really be that bad but it IS ok because I live with him and I'm awfully used to that.
(In our first month, during that whole getting-to-know-you bit, I mentioned that I never actually travel to see PLACES, I travel to see PEOPLE, and he said he'd have to go to Japan for long-ass time this summer and I should probably go see him while he's there. Yeah, dudes, during our first month we made plans a year in advance.)
Right, so, he's gone from June 7 to August 7, schedule was recently adjusted in case J-PARC still has crazy H1N1 regulations when he gets there. Collaboration meetings were supposed to take place May 12-16 but the KEK site put in some last-minute regulations so the meetings were rescheduled for July 7-11. The plan right now is for me to arrive on the 11th (D's skipping the last half-day's worth of meetings) and then we'll have a week off to do our thing, I'll get back in Canada on the 19th or something, idk how these freaky time zones work. With this timing, if it turns out that they really DO need another pair of hands around that week, they can just get someone who's coming over for the meetings to stay an extra week.
We don't know what we're DOING all week though. Last time D had tourist time in Japan (3 days) he went to Kyoto and took lots of pretty pictures. Also brought home souvenir porn for his bff. One of my friends wants me to bring her back some vending machine panties if they really do exist.
