I Have Been There

　　I went directly to the information counter to get some information about my flight. They told me that I would have to wait for several hours. Her words reminded me of the upsets that I had experienced last March. I realized that I wouldn't be able to arrive at my hometown on the day when I arrived in Japan. I sent e-mails to my boss and my wife to explain my situation. Then, I sent an e-mail to my travel agent asking to book a hotel and the next flight. I wanted to be in my office on the next day.
　　Additionally, I had to deal with one thing. It was about my suitcase. I wanted to pick my suitcase up as early as possible in Narita in order to avoid jams. My flight would arrive at Narita International Airport late at night and passengers would be rushing to the designated counter for various procedures like booking hotels and flights from people who picked their suitcases up. You can save time if you pick your suitcase up earlier.
　　I asked for the extra price of a business seat. The seats were significantly vacant and they offered a discount price of 899 C$. I decided to take the business seat, because I thought I should take enough rest so as to attend my job on the next day.
　　Eventually, my selection turned out to be clever.
