It's 3:37am, California time. Just a few hours till I'm on the road to the airport, and shortly after that I'll be on the plane (hopefully getting some much needed sleep). I'm so excited I'm not tired. I've been packing all night, praying that I don't forget something important. I count the money I'm bringing with me. I realize that soon I will be heading to the other side of the world to experience another culture. And then it hits me...

Am I crazy?!

I'm the kind of guy who doesn't like change of any kind. Going to a hotel tends to be a bit of a stretch for me, as I'm much rather be in my home. This is the sort of thing I never do. And yet...I'm not sorry I'm doing this. This is the sort of experience that can break me out of my shell. And though I may starve (Japanese food is not a favorite of mine) I look forward to the experience. Keep an eye on this blog, for it's going to be updated on a (near) daily basis from this point on.
