I got the "OK" from my doctor to travel tomorrow. I'm excited, hesitant and a little nervous. I've really gotten used to living over here. I'll miss my friends and the exoticness and the food. At the same time I will be able to go to the mall and hit a Sephora shop or actually have a fluent conversation with an employee at a shop or something instead of choppy sentences with a strangter and walking away knowing that there was some miscommunication.

All we have to do tonight is give our car over to my husband's friend and finish packing. Tomorrow morning a pre-arranged taxi-van is coming to get us at our hotel room and it will take us (2 tired adults, 2 hyper kids, 2 cats and 8 suitcases) to the airport.

I'll take pictures of the airports (Naha and Osaka) with my cellphone and post them here when I get some extra time. My new blog is American Gaijin at www.american-gaijin.blogspot.com and I'll post about my new experiences in the US and how they differ from Japan and then maybe some more personal posts that have nothing to do with the move.

I'm off to pack. You all know I'm Aviation Girl so I think the flight will be fun. :D
