Bags packed, check-in done and seats reserved.

Most essential things are packed first :)

Family portrait of our baggage.

ReLe's baggage is already at the weight limit (mostly because of camera gear) 18.2/20kg, so we will have to probably do the classic wear all your clothes trick on return flight. We also might start to write a long list of explanations to customs officers here in Finland of all the electronics(clothes in Jonna's case) that might find way into our bags in Japan. For the record we of course will stay under the legal 170 something € limit...

Last night we reserved the seats in online check-in for both flights (Vantaa-Amstedam, Amsterdan-Kansai) It was no surprise that only wing seats and the seats in back were available, but according to http://www.seatexpert.com/ the seats we finally picked were ok.

Right now we are just waiting for the bus to leave at Jyväskylä to Helsinki-Vantaa. Bus leaves at 00_15 and gives us the sightseeing of Keski-suomi area, because this "express" will stop to all possible bus stops in 318km journey to Helsinki-Vantaa. Total trip length will be 27hours from Jyväskylä to Kansai airport and 43hours of awake time if we won't get any sleep during the trip.
