Less Than 24 Hours To Go.......

I will be boarding my flight to Tokyo in less than 24 hours, and all of the emotion is really hitting me hard. I am so filled with nervous butterflies, but excited and anxious all at the same time.

I hope everything comes together and transforms this trip into something special. I hope it exceeds my expectations. For honestly, I know what to expect with visiting Japan, but I still don't know whats going to happen.

There are so many people I am going to miss, so many parts of my life I will pine for while gone. It is only three weeks, but yet I will be on my own in a very different world. I'll be with friends, but will also have more time to myself than I may know what to do with.

At least its finally feeling real - this trip is actually going to happen. And on the bright side, I might be feeling a fearful kind of happy, but at least I have a life at home worth missing.

Having butterflies indicates you are on the verge of true adventure. I'm certain they will pass as soon as you slip into the alternate reality called "Japan" and a whole new outlook will coalesce, one that will be more and different than what you can imagine now.

I am so excited for you! I have complete confidence in your ability to handle any and all challenges that come your way. I'll miss you and am looking forward to reading of your adventures and, when it's done, welcoming you home again.

love,
Viktor
