I have a few things to do before I get on that plane. But mostly I should be packing. Today I got my suitcase out and laid it in the middle of the living room floor, hopefully the things that i want to take to the States will just crawling over and throw themselves inside of it. We’ll see.
My trip home will be a bit crazy. I am flying Kansai>Seattle>Atlanta>Tampa. Three flights!...
