Tick Tock

So close. in less then 48 hours I'm going to be in a plane, heading for Japan. I could even BE halfway around the world by then. It's making the time drag on and on. I have decided to wipe any and all expectations. Whenever I go into a movie or a play with expectations, I find I never enjoy it for what it is; I constantly compare against my expectations. This is far too big to diminish with my own prejudices. I want to take in Japan for what it is. Whatever it is...
I also have decided I'd like to buy a Kimono. Sorry for the non sequitur.
Having no expectations makes it hard to write about them. I can tell you, though, that this is bound to be a pretty big thing. If nothing more, the plane ride should be an experience. And, seeing as that is just one minuscule necessary step of the big picture, I'd have to say that this is a big scale trip.
Off! To the LAND OF THE RISING SUN!
