St. Louis: Gateway to the East…the Far East!

It’s Tuesday morning, and I am awaiting boarding my plane in St. Louis en route to Osaka, by way of Dallas/Fort Worth. I had a great time hanging out with Dave and Sara last night at Max’s, a local a restaurant/pub near the hotel where I’d stayed for the night. I arrived at the airport extra early so that I can begin to relax. I had only 3 hours of sleep last night, brought on partly by restlessness and by anxiety. The good kind of anxiety. In less than 24 hours, I will be stepping foot on Kansai International, just a short distance from downtown Osaka as much as I’ve read ahead about traveling to Japan ahead of this trip, I really don’t have any idea what to expect as soon as I exit the breezeway onto the airport in the other side of the world. But, I can’t wait! Logging off for now, since I don’t believe my BB will be working in the land of the rising sun, but check back in a couple of days for further information about my trip. Ja mata!
