“Wherever you go,
go with all your heart” – Confucius

June 3rd, 2019 – 2 Weeks until we leave for Japan!
We had our last preparation meeting last night and Alex and I are extremely excited and nervous. It is starting to sink in that we really are about to go on an amazing adventure to an incredible country! I even packed my bag already (just to see if everything would fit). Not looking forward to the flight there, but I’m sure once we have landed and I’m settled in the hotel…and I’ve had some sake…I’ll hardly feel the jet lag (future entry will hold the answer). We will be plenty busy during our trip with a packed itinerary, but I’ve been obsessively looking up many places in Tokyo, Hakune, and Kyoto that we probably won’t even get to see. I have also been working on my Japanese with the Duolingo app. Not quite fluent yet, but I’ve surprised myself with how much I have learned and how well I can pick out some Japanese characters and their sounds. Can’t wait!!
