Itinerary, huh?

So I leave for Japan on Wednesday...I LEAVE FOR JAPAN IN TWO DAYS?!! When did this happen? I bought my ticket back in March, my backpack in May and now all of a sudden I gotta do things like pack! Holy Toledo Batman!
So, I have a lot of friends in Japan thanks to a nifty exchange program with my college. I will be staying with my 'older sister' from my Freshman year. And like a good big sis she is ready to take care of me and has planned out a lot. I will also be in care of one of my best friends Satoshi, who I met one drunk night at a bar....another story for another time.

So here is my rough itinerary for Japan, you folks ready?

Wednesday, August 24th
Fly out from DFW Internation Airport on All Nippon Airways at 7:20 am. (sleep on flight because that's crazy early)
Land in Washington DC 11:29 (wait a second did I just get further away from Japan?)
Eat some food in the Airport because it's better than scary airline food.
Leave Washingon DC 12:20 and fly straight to Japan. That is 14 hours of sitting the same spot...cramped...tiny spot...with tasteless food...I'm pretty sure there are laws against this.

Thursday, August 25th
Land in Narita at 3:20pm.
Meet my big sis, Kayo. Drive to Tokyo and go see a baseball game at Tokyo Dome
SLEEP!

Friday, August 26th
Go Shopping!! Goal of the day: Buy a Yukata (summer kimono)
Go do Karaoke

Saturday, August 27th
Go to a fireworks festival wearing brand new Yukata!

The rest of the itinerary was e-mailed to me by Kayo.
28 Sendai ship matsushima
29 sendai to Tokyo
30 free shopping harajuku?
31 free. Odaiba?
1 free asakusa?
2 Disney see with everyone
3 Japanese Fashion Show with Satoshi
4 Fuji mt and p/l
5 Fuji mt to tokyo good bye party night club or gay club??
6 narita airport



And that is it. That is the plan and it is very exciting!!


So as the trip gets nearer there is a lot for me to do. 
TO DO:
Get nails done
Decide outfits and the accessories that go with them
Pack all that
Pack toiletries (this includes: shampoo, conditioner, styling product, make up, tooth brush, toothpaste, razor, lotion)
Make copies of Passport, debit cards, drivers license.
Exchange Dollars into Yens and get travelers checks 
Establish Power of Attorney (you never know what could happen, so Sis you're in charge if something happens to me)
Check, double check and triple check everything. 
Read some travel sites to make sure you have absolutely everything


And that is it. That is what I have to do...I think...there may be more.


So two whole days left to get everything done. I think I can be ready.
