Today and tomorrow are going to be two looong days. Today, I’ll drive two hours to Raleigh, where I’ll stay at an airport hotel. I’ll set out early Wednesday morning, two hours before departure. Then it’s a two-hour flight to Chicago, a two hour layover, and then thirteen hours to Tokyo. Thirteen hours! Then it’s probably a 90-minute or so shuttle to the hotel from Tokyo airport. When you combine that with a fourteen hour time change, that means my journey, which will start like 7am tomorrow, ends roughly 6 pm Tokyo time the next day! Needless to say, I’ll be tired. But hopefully adrenaline will get me through.
I have a lot of fun activities planned, including some stuff that should definitely help with the strip. (Anyone ever been to Akihabara?)
Updates, unless for some reason I have no internet access, will continue as normal.
