t-minus less than 24 hours!

Oh man. At this time tomorrow I'll be sitting at a gate in the SeaTac airport, hopefully post coffee/breakfast with Gesse (somehow I scheduled myself a SIX HOUR layover in Seattle, but luckily I have wonderful friends there to visit me at the airport) and also hopefully sleeping, with just an hour to go until my flight takes off for Tokyo!

Mark and I decided to try and stay up all night tonight to help me get adjusted to the time changed--my five-thirty am flight out of Spokane leaves at what would be eight-thirty pm Bangkok time, which means I get to Bangkok at 8:30 am Spokane time, right when I need to be going to sleep. Eeep! So if I stay up alllll night I can sleep on the flight to Tokyo which is sort of approximately night time in Bangkok. I think if I were doing this all over, I'd plan to arrive at least a day early, because getting up at 7:30 for a full day of orientation is not going to be easy.

I'm so excited to go! There's just no way I can know what it'll be like until I get there, and I'm ready to find out :)

Also, if you're lurking--leave a comment! I'll be happy to know I'm not just writing into empty space (or send me an email, I think it's hard to comment on blogger?)
