Day 1
Although I was so excited that I could barely sleep last night, I finally did manage to catch some z’s and rest up for the big adventure that lay ahead of me. I woke up at 5 am (!) and headed to the airport with all of my luggage, hoping I hadn’t forgotten anything important. As it turns out, I DID forget an alarm clock—whoops! I will try to buy one at the airport tomorrow.The flight was fine. A man from my salsa dance class was on my flight, and I got to watch a movie (The Ballad of Ricky Bobby) on the plane so I had enough entertainment to keep me occupied. And now here I am in San Francisco, California! The hotel is very nice and lunch was delicious. I am resting up now before I go to our afternoon meetings and have dinner at the Japanese Consulate’s house tonight. Then tomorrow morning, I am off to Tokyo. The funny thing is, I leave tomorrow morning but I don’t get to Japan until Tuesday night because of the time change!! It is like I will skip over Monday night altogether. I can’t wait to get out of the United States and on my way to Japan....
