Today was my last full day in the US.  I'm starting to get excited... More anxious, I think.  I've been so busy all day, but it will be well worth the effort.  Tonight, Adrian's mother made a delicious spaghetti dinner with a side of corn, cesar salad, and rosemary bread.  Before dinner, they all presented me with a card.  Inside was a message from everyone and Japanese yen.  It's really making me start to miss this place and the warm people here already.

    Tomorrow I leave the house around 8:30am, and my flight leaves around 11:20am.  I have one stop at LAX with a two hour wait.  I won't be in Japan until approx. 7:30pm Tokyo time, but my wonderful grandparents will be at Narita Airport waiting for me.

    A friend of mine, Hazu, will also be leaving for Japan in the morning.  Unfortunately, we will be on different flights-- At least her flight is a straight flight, making it so that she will arrive at 4:30pm(TT).  I hope that she has a safe flight and that the two of us will be able to see each other in Motherland.

I wish that all of you have a summer full of fun and adventure~

Wow...!  I have only 2 days, 14 hours, and some odd minutes left in the US!!  I am still waiting to get excited by the thought of being on an airplane to Japan-- It usually happens the night before or the day of.  Perhaps it's because I don't have anything left to do but wait?

Most of my packing is done-- All I have left is to wash the last bit of clothes I would like to bring with me.  Adrian's mother has been very helpful with keeping me organized.  My father has helped me a lot with getting my passport-- which is a >little< important. 　（‐･ｖ･）

Adrian is already beginning to miss me... (；ｖ；)　Tomorrow we're going to see the movie Ted (the one about the stuffed bear) and then have dinner with my father~!  So much to do in so little time!
