Plane tickets - purchased!!! We fly out of Seattle Friday March 27th, make a quick connection in Vancouver BC, then we arrive at Tokyo's Narita International Airport Saturday March 26th!! We also make reservations at a nearby hotel for Saturday and Sunday. We wanted a few days to adjust to the time difference before our training starts. On Monday the 30th we'll check out, and take a bus ride up to Mito, where we will begin our 2 day training the next day. We'll stay there until our apartment is ready for us, although of course we still don't know where that apt. will be.
It feels like time has been going so quickly since we started this process - I can't believe we leave in 6 weeks! I went and purchased my international driver's license today, although I am hoping I will find an excuse to not have to drive on the other side of the road. . .I'm a wimp, what can I say?
We still have so much to do :
-reserve storage unit
-buy some professional clothing items (no jeans in the classroom!)
-sell Chris' car
-pack up our apt, and try and decide what to take with us to Japan
-meet with bank rep about international financial transactions (we will need to transfer Japanese funds over to our US accounts to pay bills while we're gone)
-many, many other small details.
Send us calming thoughts, please!
