Kansai - the return

The returning journey was one of the most worrying part; initially it was typhoon Cimaron, then it was the train catching part. We would need to take the Sakurajima line from USJ to the Nishi Kujo eki and hop onto the Kansai-Airport Express train which run 2 shifts per hour. It seems simple but yet a missed might ended up with a rush situation. We woke up early and reach Nishi Kujo station in time to catch the Kansai-Airport Express. It was not a working day but the train was crowded and no seat was noted on our boarding. We were however able to secure a seat for everyone half way of the journey.

We proceeded to the airport food court and did a final food round prior to our departure. The fried noodle, curry rice and tempura were up to the standard. We proceeded to T2 after the overloaded breakfast. The kiosk check-in was unsuccessful like our last visit; the booking name and passport name was not consistent. Our name had 2 spaces separated and the booking name was noted only with 1 space. Well, it was smooth and we passed the immigration without any difficulty. The rest of the journey was uneventful…..

It was a satisfying journey for everyone.

One month later, Kansai was hit by typhoon Nabi and quite a few places we visited were wrecked.

My asthma had become worst on the day of departure and I had to return to my desk with a tight schedule while another hectic tour was waiting for me around the corner 1 week later.
