The final countdown

So in just a few hours I will be sitting on the plane.

All of my bags are packed. They are heavy. I over pack...but that is expected. I always over pack. I have a suitcase and a duffel bag to check. I have a backpack and a carry on bag to take with me on the plane. When I weighed the bags, they were under the weight limit...I hope that's the case with the official scale or whatever they use. It will be interesting watching me transport these bags all around Japan. Let's hope I can do it. I tried to cut down, I really did.

I have said bye to my mom and sister. That was difficult to do. I also said bye to all of my closest friends. I have to keep telling myself that four months isn't that long... The hardest part will be saying bye to my cats, as silly as that sounds. Everyone else I can talk to, but the cats I can't. I'm weird.

I don't know when I'll have the chance to update again, but I will try as soon as possible.

I'm nervous. I'm anxious. I'm excited. I'm at a loss for words. I can't even comprehend what is about to happen to me...

Way to steal my Europe headline!

Haha, kidding... you're gonna have a blast! The baggage issue isn't bad. In Australia, they had free carts for me to use, then a guy from my Uni came to pick me up and help me out.

Also, I've taken to listening to "Plea from a Cat Named Virtue" and "Virtue the Cat Explains Her Departure" back to back. It's a religious experience every time.

Anyway... hope your flight goes/went well! Glad I finally have a Pacific neighbour!
