This is the last entry I'm going to post until my husband and I have arrived in Japan. Tomorrow will be a fun-filled day of planes, trains and automobiles, with nearly 24 hours of travel time. Here's the equation:
Charlotte, NC to Detroit (2 hours) + layover in Detroit (4.5 hours) + Detroit to Tokyo (13 hours) + bus/train ride to our apartment (? hours) + random waiting around at various airports and stations (? hours) = 24 hours of travel. So there you have it. I'm sure I'll be one cranky bitch by time we reach our final destination.
We've just about completed last minute details like canceling our cell phones, car insurance, making bank deposits, etc. Last night I sold my car to one of my husband's work friends for a ridiculously low sum, which means I won't be driving again for at least a year. Weird.
I still don't think I fully comprehend the magnitude of what we're about to do, but I'll have to start comprehending pretty damn soon.
Be sure to check back! Although I don't know how soon I'll be able to get online in Japan, I'm certainly going to continue this blog.
Until later..............................
