I'm adios

5 hours from now I will be boarding a plane to take me to Tokyo. Hard to believe the day has finally arrived. I'm a little edgy right now. A friend asked me this morning if I was excited. At this moment, not really. It comes and goes.
For instance, yesterday I went to get my rail pass over in San Francisco. When I stepped into the travel agency and saw all these brochures on Japan, the excitement came. When I held the rail pass "exchange order" I got a nice little adrenaline rush. It also helped that Jordan, who was accompanying me, was pumped up. When I was browsing a brochure and came across a map of the Tokyo JR system, that really got her going. I was like yup, that's where I'll be in about 24 hours.

Got my haircut yesterday (as illustrated in the pic to the right). Told the woman to do it really short because I wouldn't be there for awhile. "What, you don't like coming to us?" she said. Well yeah, but obviously I couldn't tell her that. And plus, "No, I'm not going to be around for awhile so I need it that way."
"oh, well, I guess that's ok then." Better be.
