It's pretty strange to be using this blog again.... definitely not what I expected when I wrote my 'last' entry two years ago.
Here's the story in a nutshell:
-I miss my friends, I miss my other home in Japan...everyday.
-A dear friend moves back to Tokyo and offers me free housing.
-An American Airlines frequent flyer miles deal arrives at my door, making it possible to fly round trip for $500.
-I realize that my apartment and phone contracts both end at the same time.
-My amazing job says yes, I can take a leave of absence.
-I pack up my things and head out for three whole months just to study the beautiful language and reunite with the place and people that are so dear to my heart.
The end.
I'm going to cry when I get there. I'm sure that'll go over really well with the customs officer.
Have I mentioned I hate flying? Leave it to me to fall in love with the farthest possible country to fly to. Feel free to send your prayers my way as I fly tomorrow.....
More upon my arrival.
