January 8th

Today started out early, around 6am with a frenzy over the road conditions as the temperature was below freezing and there was moisture in the air. Fortunately enough, Trey and I made a safe journey to the airport just a few minuets than expected! I got checked with at the gate and hopped on the 777. I got to sit in the front of Coach with extra leg room, which was very nice for a 14 hour flight. We arrived at the Narita International Airport about 10 minuets before schedule and worked our way through the various checkpoints. I had a few conversations with the Passport lady, Customs man, and a teller at a newsstand. Just small talk such as I am international student, wheres the bathroom (very interesting toilets by the way...), and how is your day going... We made it to the American Annex and had a nice greeting party with our E-Pals and some really good Sushi!! So far off to a great start! It is 9:00 pm here so I have officially been operating on 24 hrs non stop. Very tired and going to get some sleep for tomorrow!

Miss everyone back home and cant wait to see ya'll soon!
