Welcome back BananaBabeQT! Did you have a lot of fun? Was the weather nice while you were there?

At first it was rainy and cold but when we got to Tuscany and then Rome it was nice and sunny ^_^ I feel like I missed so much Arashi stuff so I'm trying to catch up now! A little sad when I saw the new tour dates and places and NYC wasn't listed >_< lol

The card covers look amazing though huh? I really can't decide which I like best!!!!!!

*snrk* Oh goodness. Gotta love the airports of the USA. And I think our country is the only one that you can't freakin even walk into the airport anymore. *sigh*

Wow! Italy? Was it awesome?!

Mmmm not too many airport horror stories, although one of the girls on the trip had her luggage lost but it turned up a couple days later.

I was there because I applied for this scholarship that gives 2 ppl at my school the chance to go on a totally paid for trip to Italy to visit vineyards and other food related places hosted by the wine company Banfi (so if you drink wine, drink theirs! They are the nicest company I have ever met!) IT was so incredible and they paid for EVERYTHING, which as a broke college student, makes it so much more enjoyable haha

@ BananaBabeQT That sounds wonderful! I love wine. Did you get to bring any home?

@ thatgirlnamedJESS A couple suggestions. First, bring lots of stuff to do, and extra batteries for anything you might use that runs on batteries. Second, bring some snacks. Even though I'm sure you will get food, you might get hungry at other times. And buy some bottles of water (or other drinks) when you get to the airport (you can no longer bring your own from home). Third, try not to sleep much if at all the night before you leave. Then you can sleep on the plane. Lastly, if you are really scared, you can ask your doctor to prescribe you something to keep you calm.

Once you are in the air I'm sure you will be fine though. I am normally scared before I fly, but as soon as we are in the air I'm fine.

Please make sure to let us know as soon as you can that you got there safely! And take lots of pictures for us all to see. smile

Planes are fun! Although for it being your first time on a plane its going to be a long flight, make sure to bring your iPod with all your Arashi music on it! haha Have fun and be safe!!!! Make sure you know all the security guidelines like how you can't bring liquids on the plane unless they are certain sizes and stuff. ^_^

Thanks everyone XD

Also it is a good idea to take a laptop if you have one. you can't use it during the take off but in the air they are wonderful.

and during take off if you get scared just looking at the peolpe next to you and picture them in there underwear. that is fun clapping

The only problem with this is on such a long flight your battery will die pretty fast. I heard they have something you can buy for keeping your battery charged during long flights, but I don't know what it is. blush

Some tennis players were talking about it on the tennis channel, and that it is a necessity for long flights.
