Let the Blogging begin!

Now that I finally have something worth sharing, allow me to share. In a little over 2 weeks, I will be flying half way around the world to begin my year long soak in sake and sushi. Talk about an adventure. With little to no language under my belt, a healthy curiosity for the world and its cultures, as well as a little over 100 lbs. worth of luggage, I will be going to teach conversational English in the city of Sendai, Japan. The closer the date of my departure gets, the more I realize I have to do. My intention is, if anybody actually packing in preparation of living in a foreign country should stumble across my humble blog, that this webpage should be as helpful as possible. That means that soon, hopefully very soon, I'll have published a list of things to remember to pack, how to pack them, and other things of that nature. Once I reach Japan and I'm more able to answer the questions of what that whole experience is like, I'll be sure to fill you all in accordingly. Until then, however, I'm pretty exhausted from all the excessive nagging worries I'm collecting prior to my exodus. So please, if there's anyone out there, be patient and I'll tell you all about how stressed out I'm getting very soon.
