Well, the flight was long, and not as restful as I had hoped. Which is why I feel like Narita Airport is actually a ferris wheel that I am going around and around on. I am waiting the world’s most dismal waiting area, already having had a milk tea, and debating whether or not to try the questionable soba simply for something to do. I will be in the tropics in five hours. I am, however, in Japan right now, and that is itself cause for celebration!
Having had to travel like a hippie for my entire childhood and for most of my adulthood, I decided that this was to be the end of it. The Universe agreed with me in the form of a half off luggage sale at Sears. I do actually own a suitcase, but it is filled with the last of my un-moved possessions at my parent’s house, and as that particular house is filled with (from all account incredibly congenial) strangers at the moment, I thought I would take the plunge. Unfortunately, I am rather a huge snob when it comes to the idea of packing and luggage, and started out very determined to travel almost impossibly lightly. So lightly, in fact, that I refused the lending of several of dear room-mate L’s suitcases, claiming they were all too large. Naturally, the one I came home with was bigger than all of them. I have been rather half heartedly trying to explain away my hypocrisy with such excuses as “it is MUCH smaller on the inside” and so forth, but it is a charade. I own a giant red suitcase. That will teach me.
Things are happening again! Stay tuned for yet another site update! I also plan to document my up-coming holiday to Japan, which will no doubt be fun and interesting. Hopefully.
