Monday dawns bright and sunny and I woke up with the sudden realization that there is a lot to do before I go away. I suppose I am the most high maintenance IN THE PREP DEPT. (only) because I chose to abandon the jet setter lifestyle last year and now have to think about a house and a puppy that are staying behind! Trust me - a condo/townhouse, no pet, no plant lifestyle is way better for extended absences!

Looking forward to seeing a country with a native (Yuki) who can take us places that travellers may not get to, and can tell us tips and tricks along the way! Hope the weather is as good there as it is here!
