I leave for Japan one week from tomorrow! I remember saying "I leave for Japan in 4 months" way back in February. It seemed like it would never get here, and it finally has (almost)! This will be my first time out of the continent, away from home life for more than a month, and "on my own-ish."
A few people have asked me to start a blog about my trip, so I figured, why not? I filled out my family stay application and checked my flight itinerary last week. It turns out it is a direct flight from MSP to Tokyo. Oofta! What a flight!? The flight itself is about 12 hours long or so I believe. Tokyo is 14 hours ahead of Minneapolis. We leave here at 3:10pm on the 29th, and arrive to Japan at 5:20pm on the 30th. Can you talk about jet lag...? I'm hoping to be able to sleep quite a bit on the way, but we'll see how that works out.
A few people on my team (team 4) have gone on the trip before, or even multiple times, so it is nice to be able to ask them questions and to hear a little bit about their perspectives and recommendations. We have a "Guy Healy Japan Team 4" facebook group going, which is awesome. Our team has people from all over the country, which is also really cool!
Here is the link to the camp website.

It feels kind of weird to be "leaving" for basically the summer. I've had a fantastic 5 weeks of "summer" so far. (Valleyfair, dog-sitting, summer class, Wisconsin Dells, Beach, etc.) I've jam packed my summer to make it great, and I am so much looking forward to the second part of it to begin!
Most people who know me know that I am big into quotes, so...
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”
