Packing

One more day in the states left, and I should really start packing soon....

No, for real now, I got all my clothes thrown into my luggage now, and I've been going through all my stuff to see what I want to bring, but have only managed to sort through half of my room so far.

Anyways, I'll post again from Japan next time.

One week and counting

My e-ticket is in my hand and I'm ready to go with one week to wait untill I depart. My initial flight departs Aug 31 from CIU (Kinross, MI) at 6:25 AM, meaning that I'll have to get up quite early that morning. After the two and half hour filght, there's an eight hour lay-over in DWT (Detroit, MI) before I get on flight 71 to NGO (Nagoya, Japan). Once I get settled into that tin can, I'll be sitting there for the next 13 hours 5 minutes; I can't help but laugh at the "5 minutes" part of my estimated fight time, do they really have it timed so tightly? I doubt it.

I figured out how to choose my seats online, so I picked out an isle seat nearest to the door this morning, the only window seat was in the very back of the 747, and I really don't feel like waiting for the hoards of people leave the plane before I can even stand up.

Today is my last day of work at LSSU before I leave, I am taking the next week off to get ready and stuff. I gave up my key to the IEEE student office, that was kinda sad but I'll get it back later. My friend Josh might be able to make better use of it in the coming year than I would. Nope, haven't even really thought of packing or what to pack yet. *shrugs*

OK, so I have an introductory post complete now, I can sleep happy. For those that remember my previous trip to Japan, you might remember that I had a photo/video site too; I'll be setting that up after I get some photos to post, but I'll have something for sure.
