Preparation

I keep reminding myself that I am MOVING TO, not just traveling through, Japan. So it's okay if my 2 suitcases (yes, all 2 of them) seem a little full. Instead of thinking about how I'm going to teach English, or buy groceries in Japanese, I focus on things that are totally out of my control: I worry that my suitcases will explode en route and that I'll arrive with little more than a pair of sunglasses. Or that while I'm gone, my house will burn down.

When you step back and really look at what you're worried about, it's almost hilarious. I think it's time to get on the plane.
