I will go to USA

I met Hiromi, Japanese girl 4 years ago in New Zealand.
(She is also on my book though.)

I walked thorough Northern part of Japan with Antoine from this May to July, it was also because of Hiromi.
She was the first person for me who walked thorough from Southern point to Northern point of Japan.

She have been on a boat as volunteer cruw for recording a documentary movie of polynesian canoe from this April.
I knew she arrived at Hawaii and San Francisco few weeks ago, I thought she is awesome.

So she is the Hiromi, she sent me a message.

==========================================
Our boat head to San Diego, the final goal after stopping at some points in Pacific coast in USA.

I will go back to Japan in late September then will come back San Diego New Year.
I’d be happy if I meet you when I will be in Japan.
Or why don’t you come to San Diego to visit me in September or January?
You are welcome to stay our boat.
==========================================

Or why don’t you come to San Diego to visit me in September or January?
You are welcome to stay our boat.

Or why don’t you come to San Diego to visit me in September or January?

You are welcome to stay our boat.

I want~~~!!
I really waaaaant~~~!!!!

Staying on a boat!?!?
Sounds soooo cooool!!!!

I got this message in early August.

…but I haven’t done anything yet after I came back to Japan, I haven’t written the story of my past trip for book what I really wanted..(but I haven’t find a publisher yet, so there is no chance to publish it so far though..(cry)), so I should stay on Japan to do something serious….

Yeah, when Christian(Couch surfer from Swiss) came to my house, I wanted to go to Kyoto with him and wanted to stay Nakano(my friend in Kyoto)’s house for around 1 month…but I didn’t for something serious.

I just have to be serious.

At the same time, a magazine company invited me to come to Tokyo with transportation fee.
My plan first time was I stay Tokyo just few days though, that days were traditional Japanese holiday in summer, so I couldn’t get the bus seat for going back to Fukui, it made me staying Tokyo 1 week.

Early August was a little bit busy like that but I thought about “September” or “January” in San Diego in my head.

September is very soon, it’s difficult to go so fast. But in January I may be able to go after I wrote book somehow…?

I thought something blur like that, I checked the reply from Hiromi in 20th August, after I came back from Tokyo.

==========================================
I arrive at San Diego 5th September.
==========================================

5th Sep.??

Hey, that’s very soon!!!!

Woooooo, what should I do..!!!!
I go!?!?!? or not!?!?!?

I must decide now, no time to thinking~~!!!!

Thinking about January, it’ll be very cold!?!?
I just thought going there in January slightly but September is much better than January!!!

Yeah, I thought next place I wanna visit was USA, but I didn’t have courage honestly, but there is no chance to stay on a boat without this chance,,,, I just killing my time without anything every day…

How much the flight ticket by the way..?

I opened the ticket comparing website, I searched for San Diego.

USD $1800 including oil charge…
Expensive! Tooooo expensive!!!!

Come to think of that, where is San Diego!?

Surely, I didn’t know where it is.

I felt it’s in South America from the name sound.

Hey!! Just I took a map from book shelf, I checked the place of San Diego.

Woow, I found the San Diego near Mexican border on a west coast!!
And also it’s near Los Angeles!!

Huh!? Los Angeles is the California!?
My past favorite TV drama 90210‘s!?!?

Cha-rarara-ra~♪　Cha-rara-ra-ra-ra-♪
The opening song is started in my head.

I searched the ticket for Los Angeles again.

Ticket price is…USD $100.

Huh?

Isn’t it wrong??
I searched it again, yeah it’s the same price really.

Cheap!! Sooooo Cheeeeap!!!!

I can go! I can gooooo!!!!!

BUT…It will be expensive when it’s including something tax and oil charge.
Anyway, I wanna buy the cheapest ticket, so I call many agency and check the total price!!

I called around 6 agency, then I bought the ticket finally!

Ticket： 10,200円(about USD $120)
Airport Tax(Tokyo)： 2,000円(about $25)
Airport Tax(Los Angeles)： 5,000円(about $60)
Oil charge： 59,000円(about $750)
Service charge： 2,100円(about $25)

Total：　78,300円(about $980)

…whoa,,I pay such a expensive money, so I wanna stay there as long as I can…
My ticket’s term is 3 months, so I go there as soon as I can, then meet Hiromi from 5th Sep!!

I thought I stay in Japan for a while but I took the ride again.

I just bought the round ticket, my plan so far is meet Hiromi and enjoy there a while.
I’m not sure what I will do after Hiromi going back to Japan.
Just I will go to USA.
