Well the lists are done, and the dining room table is loaded with possible packing items.
I have a huge folder of information and feel proud. With only a short (yet I am sure, most enjoyable) stay ,forearmed is forewarned (and planned 
).
I must thank Peter who has been a great help with only the few pages I have so far posted.
Hyperdia is a great tool for planning trips (costs,times and many destinations help)
Getting a power adaptor that will fit more universally is also,I am sure,going to be a great advantage.
I have a recurring nightmare that I wake up on Saturday morning only to discover that my passport is spelt incorrectly. Is this normal...?
Let me check again..hahahaha
Having broadband internet has enabled me to use Google Earth to search Tokyo and find our accommodation. Makes arriving seem not as unnerving.
If you can download and use Google Earth, I would recommend it.
Lift to the airport is organised.
My sister is locked in to house sit. Look after the cats,plants etc.
Well.......
See you in Japan

Good idea to check the maps. It is definitely worth printing out a decent map to your hotel, as the street names (and numbers) in Japan are virtually impossible to use as a guide. So, a good map with some reference points is essential to ensure you find the way to your accommodation!
Have a great trip! I'm looking forward to reading all about it
