….

My dear friend Thank you very much for your message; It's good to hear from you, I'm very
happy to know that you're coming.

I'm going to explain how it has to be your itinerary:

First you have to arrive at Yokohama train station one hour before the train departure, after
the train arrives in Tokyo, you need to take the bus from the train station to Narita
International Airport.

I recommend that you have your passport and boarding pass at hand before check-in.

The flight to Los Angeles is too long, you can carry your cell phone with your list of
downloaded songs to listen to music, it is a good idea to travel at night, you would not feel
the trip, also if you travel at night you arrive in Los Angeles in the morning. The entrance
gate for the flight from Bogotá is in Terminal 5.

So you have to take a shuttle service from Terminal 2 to Terminal 5, Get on the bus, the
route takes 15 minutes and the walk takes 35 minutes, or if you prefer to walk, it will take 35
minutes.

You have to be very focused so that you don't take the wrong door.

I do not recommend walking because if you delay you can miss your flight, you will arrive
here in the afternoon.

Now I'm working from 8 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon, so I can't pick you up, I'm very
sorry.

After arriving in Bogotá you have to go through immigration controls, then you can go to the
luggage section and collect your luggage.

There are safe taxi points at the airport where you can order a taxi and ask the driver to take
you downtown, you give the driver my address and the taxi takes you to my house where I
am currently living.

I want you to be with me soon and visit the best places in the city.

You can visit the Gabriel Garcia Marques cultural center, you can enjoy the exhibitions,
galleries and cultural activities.

You can go to the Cerro de Monserrate, you can walk up or if you prefer you can use the
cable car, they are only 3,100 meters high.

You can also go to one of the best restaurants in the city, Andres carne de res, you have to
try the typical Bogota dish the ajiaco, hmmm, delicious !.

You can visit the Salt Cathedral in Zipaquira, it is 29 kilometers from Bogota, it is very
beautiful, you have to take many photos to remember.

I hope to hear from you soon, And your trip goes very well, when you arrive we will talk about
the many activities you can do in Bogota.

I love you Lilety.
