Chubu,

I very much appreciated reading your information on 2022 and 2023. It is valuable information that last year you had to travel and stay overnight because of the PCR test, and that you had to pay for it yourself.
Even though there is no PCR now, it is still possible to ・ ・ ・ pay for it the next day on your own if you don't have enough time. This time, I was lost in a flight with a 1.5 hour connection at Haneda, but I was a little worried so I decided to take the flight after that.
I would be very happy to receive such information as whether or not there is room to stop at stores and how well stocked they are.

Thank you very much.
Thank you very much ！ ！ ！

Koji,

I thought it was a long time ago that I had been through Narita and had to go through immigration at the final destination (in my case Nagoya ）), but I guess it could have been because I went through Narita. At that time, as you say, the flight between Narita and Nagoya was treated as an international flight.
If you have to go through immigration in Nagoya and arrive in the evening, it will be late if you have to go through immigration there, so it would be nice to go through immigration at Haneda.

This time, I took a JAL flight to Nagoya via Haneda.
Thanks to the information I received about the immigration check at Haneda, I thought of staying overnight at Haneda, but ・ ・ ・ I had plans right after my return, so I had to take a same-day flight to Nagoya. ！

As for the return flight, as you said, the connection time at Haneda or Narita is long.
I decided to depart from Nagoya after 2:00 p.m. because with a morning flight from Centrair, I would have to consider an overnight stay at the airport the day before.

I wonder why the JAL counter is so hard to connect ・ ・ ・
It is really inconvenient. I have to wait for hours with the phone connected and listening to that music ・ ・ ・ I would like to avoid that, but I really hope it will improve somehow.

Delta removed from Centrair? ！
I didn't know that.
I had a bad experience with Delta in the past, so I try to fly JAL as much as possible, but it is not easy to change when I think about convenience and miles ・ ・ ・
You can never predict what will happen in the future, even in the airline industry.

Thank you very much for your frequent and varied information ！ ！ ！

nuiloamama,

Thank you very much for sharing your experience of Haneda transfer.
After hearing that, I wanted to stay overnight in Haneda and visit many places ！ but I had to give up this time because of my immediate schedule after returning to Japan. I couldn't get the flight I wanted this time, but thanks to the information you gave me, I will be able to stay overnight and see Tokyo, which is an exciting and gratifying experience for a countryman from a rural area.
Even if I have to pay for the change on the way back, if I think I can save the cost of the Shinkansen, I am thinking that an overnight stay may be possible ・ ・ ・.

The information of May 25th is very latest ！
It is full even at this time of the year ・ ・ ・
The return flight is in the middle of summer vacation and Obon, it is surely full.

Thanks a lot for your valuable information ！ ！ ！

Momo-san,

Thank you very much for raising this thread with Bing's timing.
I am glad to hear about various people's experiences. I'm finally going to be able to schedule an appointment here in the next few days.
（ It looks like the fuel surcharge is going down a bit starting today or tomorrow ）.

I am almost certain that I will be using JAL, and I will try to decide whether to choose a direct flight date or a via flight to give me more flexibility in my itinerary. If the itinerary is good enough to eat a lot of ramen noodles in Tokyo on the way back, the Nagoya flight after 2:00 p.m. is just right. I wondered if Delta is a company that takes a very serious review . Honolulu-Nagoya is not an option, but
Honolulu-Haneda has been postponed several times. There seems to be a plan to make Incheon Airport in Seoul into an Asian hub, so maybe Japan flights are on the back burner.

Have a nice trip, Momo-san!

By the way, I'm looking up HNL-NGO on JAL's booking site, and
there seems to be a bug with the recent system update.
https://www.jal.co.jp/ar/ja/

It is a bug, but the correct date is not selected when I click on the outbound and inbound date tabs.
For example, if I want to select 6/23 (Fri.) for return, I have to select 6/24 (Sat.) ） and
if I want to select 7/3 （ Mon. ） for outbound, I have to select 7/4 (Tue.) for return.
Chrome and Microsoft Edge confirm this.

Even if I want to tell JAL, I can't call or connect ～.
In the meantime, I reported it on the online form.
If anyone from JAL or JAL PAK is reading this, please contact the relevant department.

I always carry on as much as possible. I bring a Boston bag on top of a smaller suitcase that can be carried in, and put the suitcase in the top compartment and the Boston under the seat in front of me. If I can't fit it in, I put it in a cardboard box and send it by fedex or usps, but
usps is surprisingly expensive. I don't know how much the check-in surcharge is, but it is also expensive to send heavy items.

Where would you like to send a package of about two cardboard boxes from Hawaii to?
You could pack it up and take it to a UPS office and get a quote.

Thank you very much Aloha. I will try to take full advantage of the carry-on as much as possible. With my sister, who broke her arm last time, we kept our carry-on luggage to a minimum, so that may have been a factor.
The largest box that can be sent by USPS Flat Rate is not very big, and the price seems to vary from Hawaii to Hawaii. I thought the post office was the cheapest, but I will look into FedEx and UPS ！ Thank you very much ！.

We recommend a service called Pirate Ship. Even if you do not have a business account, you can purchase labels at a discounted price for broker accounts that Pirate Ship has. It is not very cheap, but it is about 10% less than the regular price.

Membership Fees: SAM'S CLUB memberships range from about $45 to $100 per year; COSTCO memberships range from about $60 to $120 per year.

Merchandise assortment: Both stores carry a wide range of merchandise, but some products and brands may vary. Product availability and variety may also vary by region. In general, COSTCO focuses on fresh produce and has a larger selection.

Number of stores: COSTCO has many stores worldwide, while SAM'S CLUB has slightly fewer stores than COSTCO.

Services: Both stores offer merchandise at discounted prices, but COSTCO may have an additional advantage in terms of discounted prices, special membership benefits, and exclusive offers.

Which one you prefer depends on your personal preferences and needs.

COSTCO is available in Japan even for US members.

I think it is possible to do it when you enter the store
because you have to go through a special procedure at the cashier
when I went there, it took a little time and I felt sorry for the people around me .

SAMS is a lot easier to shop at than costco because it is totally empty.

I can just roll it over into an IRA.
In addition, you have to fund it there every month.

It is up to you to decide whether or not you want to make monthly savings. You may choose to keep your money in your IRA and not set aside any funds. You can have more than one IRA account, so you can open a new account at a different financial institution if the product you want is not available at that institution.

There are different places to move your 401K to depending on your individual circumstances and end goal.
I can't discuss this here, so
I would be honored if you would contact me and have me find a contact at GigWork.

Did you find a baby chair ？
I've seen one in Chinatown as you mentioned.
I don't know if it makes noise or not, but …
I think it was a store on the King Street side.

I used to go to Chinatown a lot, but since the baby was born, I haven't been there because it looks dirty, but I'll have my husband go look. I have someone who has approached me about a nice used Japanese beanbag chair, but I am looking for it as inexpensively as possible.

After I wrote my post, I went to the Piikoy store last Saturday thinking that Daiso might have it, but they didn't. They don't always have the same stuff, and I'm hoping they might have it once in a while.

I'm not sure about the monthly fees, but I used to use Park and YMCA programs a lot.
They have not only exercise programs but also piano and other programs.
I think the cost is reasonable, so why don't you inquire at least once in your neighborhood ？.

First, you have to know what the children want to do. For example, they want to learn ballet, but you can't tell them to play soccer
because it costs money, or they want to play basketball
but you can't tell them to learn calligraphy because it costs money to go on trips.
(For example.
First, let the kids name 2 or 3 things they want to do
and then you can consider ？ children get bored easily, so if you make them learn something they don't want to learn
because of money, it is
a waste of money and time. It's a waste of money and time. Also, even if you ask here
, it would be easier to answer if you give more specifics about what you want to learn.

Yes, if you could be a little more specific, I'm sure many of us could give you our opinions.
I think elementary school students are very different from first graders and fifth graders. 。。。。 And boys and girls will have different
advice.

But, in general, individual sports are expensive. If you're a girl, figure skating or gymnastics is robustly expensive. At first, they let their children learn just for fun, but as they get better, they are told that they will be placed in an athletes' course and will be required to attend twice a week... At first, parents are happy and wonder if their children have potential ？ and let them attend twice a week, but eventually it becomes three or four weeks. 。。。。 The monthly fee goes up and up and up. And when they start participating in tournaments, parents are also asked to volunteer, and the cost of coaching （ lodging, airfare, and meals ） are paid for by the parents who go to the tournaments. I was surprised how much money it cost when my child did well and had to play in another state or in Hawaii.

The same is true for figure skating. As you get better, you have to hire your own coach, rent out the rink for morning practice, etc. Costumes for competitions are also expensive. Costumes for competitions are also expensive. If you are a girl, I felt that figure skating and gymnastics are the two sports you should stay away from if you can't afford it💦

I don't have any experience, but I think team sports are still less expensive ？.


In the summer, swimming looked like fun with the programs that the City was doing. If you go to a slightly larger park, I think you can get a guide to those programs. The ones that City offers are very inexpensive. However, the piano classes were cheap or bad. If you go to a big park, there is always a building that offers such activities, so I think you should go there and get a brochure. Some programs are year-round and some are specifically for summer vacation. They are just cheaper, so registration can get crowded.
