"Real English 31-off the top of my head"

The top of my head is bald.  But that is not the topic of this week's Real English.

I am going on a trip tomorrow.  My cousin is tying the knot so I will go to Seattle to attend his wedding.  I have never been to Seattle before so I am looking forward to check out the city. In addition, I can't wait to see my parents.  We should have a good time.

About my flight, I don't know the exact flight numbers of the times off the top of my head, but I can tell you that on the way there and back I am flying ANA(domestic flights) and United Airlines(the flights over the Pacific Ocean).  The journey begins at Itami Airport around noon, and then I fly into Haneda Airport, take a 90 or so minute bus to Narita Airport, and then head to Seattle.  (This is called "the poor man's route." FYI, there is a direct flight from KIX to Seattle which leaves KIX every day, but this option was 50,000yen more, so I passed this time.) The ETA in Seattle is 10am.  Just in time for lunch!

On the way back, it is a little easier. I depart Seattle around 8am on Monday, have a short layover in San Fran, and then direct to KIX.  Much easier.

That's about all for now folks.  After I get back, I will tell you about my time in Seattle.  Take care!
