With only a few days before our departure, I cannot await the adventures that I am about to have for the next year. S and I have all our vaccinations, a serious first aid kit and a bag with 3 days worth of clothing in it. With some other small necessities in our packs, we will purchase anything that we don't have along the way.
I am excited to arrive in Japan, our first stop, and each sushi at their markets, visit temples in Kyoto, see Mt. Fuji with my own eyes, do some island hopping and check out the fashion and culture of busy and quirky Tokyo.
However, despite all my excitement, it has been very sad over the last few days saying goodbye to all of my friends and family who I love so deeply. As the day of our departure gets closer, every goodbye gets harder and sadder. I find myself trying to block it out of my mind. But, I can't really ignore it right now as I am looking at all my belongings in boxes and bags in the living room waiting to be moved out this afternoon.
Friends and family, I am going to miss you all so much. I will think of you all the time.
