Photos from Japan!

Yay! Our second hotel has free internet access! Here are just some preliminary photos for fun. Will post videos once back in the U.S. Enjoy!

We made it!

We're arrived safe and sound in Japan. The internet at our first hotel is a rip off at $16 US dollars a day. I'm holding off from blogging until I find a cheaper connection. See you soon!

Japan or Bust!

Excited... the night before... stressing over what to pack (of all things)... I've got enough things to entertain myself for the 11.5 hour flight: Books, PSP, my journal, poker cards... that should be enough, right?

My sister Annie taught me how to edit video clips so I'm going to try very hard to video blog, assuming that I find internet connection, that is. But it's Japan, how hard can it be, right?

The details: Going with a tour group to Osaka and Kyoto from 10/22/07-10/28/07. Then we fly ourselves to Tokyo and hang out there on our own until 10/30/07. WOOHOO!
