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~
