01. Departure

It still doesn't feel real that I'm on my way to spend a year in Japan.

I spent the better part of the last week packing, re-packing and organizing my luggage only to get to the airport today to find that the first flight was delayed almost an hour. Updates are broadcast periodically over the intercom system, delaying the flight even further. Departure is scheduled for just 30 minutes from now but the plane isn't even here... 

It's been over 4 years since I've been to Japan and I'm looking forward to re-living the experience in a completely different way.  Here's hoping for clear skies and no more delays for the next 24 hours.
