I thought I'd keep a travel diary but that is simply not enough..

8 days till lift-off..

Bloomington, United States

As you may or may not know, mom and I are leaving to go to Japan on August 4th(!).
Jamie gave me the idea to keep a travel-blog on which I can post embarrassing pictures, terrifying moments, etc. Not a bad idea. What with there being 8 days till departure, and we still don't have our passports, we'll be driving up to Chicago (4 hours) tomorrow evening to make our appointment at noon the next day with the passport expediting agency. I'll like to think of this as the first leg of the trip...
---------
I decided that I'll spend my 12 hours on the plane crocheting goodies.. Which means I'll need a new pattern book and some nice new skeins of yarn.
I've already looked into it and see that crochet hooks and knitting needles are (specifically!) allowed. http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm No need to fear. Other than that, this is for my sake. --

Stuff I need to remember to do--
-Buy properly fitting clothes
-Get hair appointment
-Shoes
-Containers for shampoo
-Soap, acne wash, shaving cream, razor
-Toothbrush, toothpaste
-Deodorant (and some for Bro) (Also anbesol)
-Find indiv. wrapped candies for Matsuyama san
-Batteries
-Passport
-Laptop + charger, Camera + charger, Video camera + charger
-Outlet converters
-Re-paint my toenails..
....


I'm sure I'm missing something drastically important.

Passport: Got.

Chicago, United States

So, success. My mom and I got our passports. We drove up and arrived around 1:30 AM, slept, woke up, went to our passport appointment, had lunch at a British style pub, picked up our passports, and then spent the rest of the day walking from 0 N. Michigan Ave. to 820 N. Michigan Ave. It was awesome. I got like 5 shirts out of it...Anyways my feet hurt a lot and we got lost on the way home so now it's 5:20 AM, and I want to sleep.

You need that whole link. Copy and paste. I don't know why it only links up half of it..
