Wanderlust V2 - Japan & Beyond

The days are counting down!! One more week!!
Next week I have to go to special training for work, see my family at the zoo, and finally start cramming things in my bag! I still need to dig up my little air release bags for packing. So far i dug out my bag from my closet and looked up where a few things are in the area. I'm thinking GRUTT pass will be worth it.. Possibly?

I"m practicing posting from flickr. It's pretty neat, so i thought it'd be cool to try out. I'm gearing up!! I've gotten so excited! I almost don't want the trip to come because the excitement before it is just so addicting and wonderful! Yet I can't wait to gear up and take some mega photos of Japan. I regret I didn't take enough photos for the few days I went last tiem to visit my aunt. I took pictures of her home and her and the bus trip. I hope that I won't be to shy to take tons of pictures. I just want to be respectful toward people living there, but I just want to unabashedly take a picture of every little thing! Even a stone!! :) Wish me luck. I can't wait!!
