   Today was great, tomorrow will be better! - George, Blood+

Well, I have safely arrived in Tokyo and am now at the Keio Plaza Hotel! Whew! It was a really long trip. There is a lot I want to say about the past 2 days, but there is a lot I need to do before orientation starts tomorrow so let me just give a quick rundown:
Thursday:
-finished packing
-cleaned out my apartment
-gave away my dog
-sold my car
-drove to Kissimee with my dad

Friday:
-drove to Miami
-went to orientation and dinner at the consulate's mansion in Coral Gables
-went to Publix to weigh my suitcases
-unpacked and repacked things to make sure they'd be allowed on the plane

Saturday:
-went to the Miami airport at 5:30am
-checked in in 10 minutes then sat around for an hour and a half
-changed some dollars into yen
-left Miami at 8:45 and flew to D.C.
-changed more money
-left at 1:30pm from D.C. to fly directly here

Sat/Sun (on the plane)
-watched Shrek 3
-ate 3 different vegeterian lunches
-flew over Canada, Alaska, and Siberia, then the International Date Line
-slept a couple hours
-read a ton of manga that was on my laptop
-listened to my iPod
-did crossword puzzles with my friend Jessie

Sunday:
-arrived in Tokyo around 4pm
-waited in a long imigration line
-lost a bet to Jessie on how long the line would take
-sent half my luggage on a truck to my apartment
-took a 2 hour bus ride to the hotel
-went out to eat ice cream at a convenience store
-looked for the statue of Hachiko around Shinjuku Station but couldn't find it
-bought a Code Geass cellphone charm from a gashapon machine for 200 yen

Still to do:
-plan what workshops to go to tomorrow
-hmmm...actually, that's it for tonight

Whew! It's not as bad as I thought. Sorry if you don't know what a lot of this is about, I just wanted to make a list so I would remember to tell the funny stories about it when I get to my apartment and have time. Ja ne!

[EDIT] Oops! I just noticed that I never took the counter out of my intro and now it thinks I'm leaving for Japan next year! I'll take care of that as soon as I can!
