Last time I was over night in Japan it was awesome. I found a guinness bar and stayed there till about 4 in the morning and then went to a coffin hotel.

Sorted.

Except the OP is PREGNANT.

Good grief learn to read.

Best advice thus far: contact your airline and see what can be done about rebooking on an earlier flight.

It may cost you a bit.

If you are flying with JAL, call them and odds are the hotel is included with the ticket at no cost to you.

Bascially: call your airline if you have not done so already.

As for hotels, google will offer up tons of convenient choices as Narita is literally teeming with decent hotels near the airport.

She can drink orange juice. It's only the size of a grape anyway.

He/She is .72 centimeters now, thank you, and the cutest little blob on an ultrasound you've ever seen.

Very Happy

I just booked the Nikko Hotel today through orbitz. I guess I'll have to check to find out if the hotel was already booked for me.

Did you check with your airline before booking the hotel?

I've crashed overnight in airports a few times and felt safe. Last time was in Hong Kong. The 7/11 stayed open all night so I just drank beers, then passed out on a bench outside. One time before that was in Guangzhou coming back from Thailand. I had an hour to catch a flight. The messed up the scheduling as it took 2 hours to go through the lines. So I was there for about 24 hours. Didn't have enough cash for much. It was crap. But never felt unsafe at least. And, another time in Japan... where did I crash? Oh yeah, outdoors. It was warm. Not fun really. Still, never felt any danger though. Guess I've had my share of bad luck and me being stupid/clueless/lost/unable to read or communicate/drunk when traveling.

OP, do you need help from total strangers on every aspect of your life? Next you'll need to know what kind of toilet paper is the best.

Harsh but relective of what happens on here sometimes with some people. It is indeed baffling to see some people seek life advice for simple decisions on this forum...makes you wonder what they would do when faced with a read hard decision!

There's no hard life decision medium, big or small
Surely Dave's cafe can dispense advice on them all
Dear posters about your life please do not decide
Until you've posted on ESLcafe, they've never lied

I always enjoy going to the restaurant/bar called "Big Country" in Tomisato and knocking back a few brews. If you have a hankerin' you can also get some whale bacon served in the bar section.

A Japanese geisha is the only way to spend time in Narita. About �50000 for the night including the room. Lots of them on Tokyo Craigslist. If you just want a quickie about �10,000. I always fly through Narita anytime I'm traveling in Asia for this delight.
