Round the world trip

It's now time to try out all those ways of talking about the future.

Places to visit: Japan, Australia, Chile... maybe more

Where to stay: Three weeks with the Matsumoto family in Tokyo to begin with, hotels and guesthouses in the other places

Itinerary: Booked the 6am flight to Tokyo tomorrow! Volunteering in a orphanage in Thailand... and booked a one-month Spanish language course in Santiago

Don't forget: Uncle Jason is coming this afternoon to lend me his Japanese phrasebook
