So, I've finally finished packing! It took longer than expected mostly because I was trying to avoid the 50 lb limit, and my large suitcase is now 49 lbs! I'm so glad that checked luggage gets transferred when one changes planes...
Anyway, my first flight tomorrow will take me to New York, then I'll fly straight from JFK to Narita airport in Tokyo. The second flight will take approximately 14 hours... ugh. The good news is that I'm often able to sleep on planes (and in cars when I'm not driving). I plan to play around with my new Nintendo 3DS as well since I recently acquired the Legend of Zelda game (the same one I played as a kid with my brother)! Also my laptop batteries last for a pretty long time so I'll probably watch a movie too.
Once I arrive at Narita I'll spend the night at a nearby hotel then the next morning I'll be heading north on a train and then transferring to the bullet train (or shinkansen in Japanese). After that I'll arrive in Sendai, the capital city of Miyagi, followed by a bus ride to my new town... I can tell already that I'm going to be exhausted. Hopefully the internet will be up and running at my apartment, but if not it may take a few days for my next post.
And so the journey begins!
