This is it, my last night in the U.S. We've checked into a Homewood Suites five minutes away from the Charlotte N.C. airport. I've got an early day ahead of me; I wake up at 4:45 and check in at the airport at around 5:30 tomorrow. First, I fly to San Francisco, layover for two hours, then fly strait to Osaka. By the time I get there, it will be 3:00 pm Saturday their time, and 2:00 am Saturday our time. Then I've still got to stay awake for at least five more hours, re-adjust my eating schedule, and check into the university (sigh).
Today has been something that I just can't describe properly as a 'day'. I woke up, packed, and then just wasted time doing whatever non-committal activities I could (I didn't want to start anything that would take too much involvement. That's basically what I did until dinner, and then we piled into the car and drove over here. See? Not really a full day of activities.
Assuming that neither plane crashes tomorrow, there will be more posts once I land in Japan (and maybe one in San Fran if I can manage). But for now, it's good night, because I'll need all the sleep I can get.
