I can't believe that it is already almost time for me to go. Damn. I don't want to pack. I don't really want to leave. And man, that flight. The longest 15 hours of my life. Did you know that AIRBORNE costs like, $50 in Japan! Oh my emgee! I will be stocking up on that before I hop on the plane. That and all the other medicine I can't get in Japan. I realized this morning that it will be impossible for me to see everyone this visit and that really sucks. On the bright side, I'll be back in 3 months.
These next three months ought to be eventful. Between work and all the trips I want to take, I'll barely sleep. Now is the time for that. I'll sleep when I'm dead. Or when I'm really old and fall asleep while people are talking to me.
It is omiyage time. I need to start shopping for souvenirs for the homies in Japan. It is so hard to think of things to get for people. Snacks are always the easiest, but real gifts...a touch more challenging. I'm open to ideas.

Love,

The Gypsy
