Rabanastre
It's time to catch up on everything you have missed. I would suggest the first thing you do is take a trip to the East End and visit both the weapons and equipment ships. Magicks couldn't hurt either. Once you're done upgrading your equipment then it's time to move on to other tasks.
Since you only have Vaan in your party at the moment, I would suggest putting off any new Hunts for the time being. One thing you will definitely want to do is visit Montblanc in the Clan Hall. Montblanc has a nice little habit of offering you a reward for every boss you take down.
In your case this includes not only the Firemane and Mimic Queen, but even the Flan ambush from back in the waterway. You'll be awarded 150, 200 and 300 Gil for each of these three bosses.
Now make your way down to Migelo's Sundries. There's a quick scene, but you won't find Penelo there. Pick up some of the new items available here and then head for the Southgate and the entrance to Lowtown. Enter Dalan's place and speak with him.
Dalan gives you the Sword of the Order and instructs you to deliver it to a man named Azelas. Locating him should not prove difficult (especially give that it is marked on your map). Head for the northwest area and speak to the Rabanastran sitting on the crate.
When Basch joins the party it's time to distribute the many License Points that he comes with. Leave Lowtown, save your game, and make tracks for the Sandsea tavern. A short scene occurs on your way there. Climb the stairs inside the Sandsea to trigger another scene with Balthier.
Use the party menu to choose the three members you wish to fight with, then prepare them accordingly. Before doing as Balthier says, I think this would be a fine time to catch up on some Hunts. I imagine you could likely finish the first four Hunts at this point.
Head for the Westgate of Rabanastre and then go north from there into the Aerodrome. You will find Balthier near the top end standing on a set of stairs leading down into a little viewing area. Tell him you're ready to go, and that's that.
