Well, it has finally come down to this... Officially the final day before I leave for one amazing trip and experience of a life time! I am proud to say that Okinawa, Japan is my first stop to hopefully many new out of the country adventures. :]
Today consists of last minute laundry and of course packing. I have never been more nervous and yet excited at the same time. I have decided to pull an all nighter tonight in an attempt to get on the right time when I arrive in Japan saying they are 16 hours ahead of us...My travel plans begin promptly at 5:40am where I board a United Airlines flight from Phoenix to Los Angeles. From there a four hour layover in LA where I then will board my first International Flight to the Tokyo, Narita International Airport. Another layover, this time only consisting of three hours and then I board my final flight on All Nippon ANA Airways to arrive in destination of Okinawa, Japan. :]
My biggest concern at this point is of course being able to navigate my way through the airports by myself. Oh and of course making sure I don't over and or under pack, yikes! Granted I do have layovers giving me plenty of time to find my way, however I have a sense of anxiety since I have never done this sort of adventure by myself or at all! One side of me feels very anxious while the other is excited and and ready for the experience and chance to really be on my own and figure things out for myself. Misplacing my passport is another concern of mine... I am just over thinking now!
All in all I am so ready and cannot believe this trip has come as quickly as it has! Many updates to come as I set out on my Okinawan adventure. :]
