The End Is Nigh

Tomorrow I will begin my trans-pacific journey from the American heartland to Japan's largest island. It all seems so unreal! Just a month ago, it seemed like I would never be making this epic trip, but the time has come. Finally and at last! It's all so scary and new and unreal, but it's really happening! And Japan is only a terribly gruesome twenty hour transit away. I'm unsure when I'll next be able update this, unsure of the internet situation during my trip! But, until then my good folks, hasta la vista USA!
