Re: [76attendees] transport from Hiroshima airport to hotel

[Warren Kumari <[e-mail]>]

I'm going to be on United Airlines 9731, arriving Hiroshima (HIJ),
Fri, Nov 6 at  7:10pm JST --- if anyone is arriving at around the same
time and would like to share a cab (yes, I realize that the train is
cheaper, but, well, more complex ) please let me know and we'll make
arrangements...
