Preparing for Japan

Jen finished up the itinerary for our trip to Japan this morning around 2AM. We leave on Thursday, and it is shaping up to be a great trip! I am really looking forward to relaxing and snarfing sushi. We will spend a lot of time traveling on airplanes and trains this trip. I plan to use that time to read The Tipping Point and A Short History of Nearly Everything. Here is the where part of our itinerary:

1. Dallas/Ft. Worth
2. Tokyo (Narita Airport), staying in Chiba so we can see Jen's brother, David
3. Kyoto
4. Osaka
5. Oshino (Mt. Fuji area)
6. Tokyo

We are going to do this trip backpacker style -- at least we're using backpacks instead of suitcases. I think I convinced Jen on our trip to Costa Rica that backpacks are the way to go -- especially when traveling by train.

Sayonara!
