Seven Days and Counting...

Yes, that's right. Only seven more days until I take to the skies to visit the Land of the Rising Sun!
I've been busy finalizing all the little things that need to be done, such as arranging a house-sitter, picking up my traveller's cheques, making arrangements to get to/from the airport, etc.

I am SO ready for this! :)

I've also been trying to get things taken care of at work such that it will minimize the effects of my absence for two weeks. This is easier said than done, as I am the ONLY person at work doing my job, and some people seem to think that things are just going to fall apart if I'm not just around the corner to patch them up! Don't get me wrong, it's nice to be needed...but as the saying goes, "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Or at least very tired...and aggravated...

I am SO READY for this! :P

Almost ready....

I officially have less than a month until I leave for Japan!

I have already purchased my plane tickets, reserved by JR Rail Pass, purchased my admission voucher for Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, and joined Hostelling International. My luggage is prepped and ready. Now it's just taking care of the details.

I just purchased my travellers cheques, and got some actual japanese cash. I can almost see Tokyo already! :)


I have also gotten the digital side of things taken care of as well:

Powerbook: Check
Digital Camera: Check
Media: Check
iPod: Check

Some people don't believe me when I tell them how light I plan on travelling, but my plan is to not have to check a single bag...which means a grand total of TWO bags, carry-on size! It won't be easy, but I'm working on it! ;)

More laters,
