i have no idea how to say this... its kind of out of my are if you know what i mean..

anyway this is what i wan't to say...
------
"the airfares from haneda to misawa, and back again are too expensive i think. I dont want you to spend that kind of money."

"i am able to speak japanese. Therefore i can manage by myslef"
"Thanks anyway" (Thanks for the offer)
------

the background is, i am going to japan and i am arriving in narita airport and have to change to the domestic airport at misawa. Then i have to travel by plane to haneda. My host family said if you dont think you can travel by yourself we can fly over to narita to help you.. and i just dont want them to waste money for nothing..

it doesnt need to be an exact translation... just something along the line

Thanxs for your help everyone

Here is a free translation.

> the airfares from haneda to misawa, and back again are too
> expensive i think. I dont want you to spend that kind of money.

三沢ー羽田間を飛行機で往復すると、高くつきますので、ご迷 惑をおかけすることになります。

> i am able to speak japanese. Therefore i can manage by myslef

私は日本語が話せますので、一人だけでもなんとかなる と思います。

> Thanks anyway (Thank you for the offer)

ご心配してくださり、ありがとうございました。

It is very polite. I tried a translation as well but mine was so, well, literal, actually using the words "air fare" and "don't want you to spend a lot of money." :bawling:
