I purchased my plane ticket through United Airlines, and I'm set to leave from AUS on May 27th at 7AM. I'll arrive in Chicago at 10:55AM and have a 2 hour layover. I'll probably take this time to grab something to eat and find somewhere to charge my laptop. My next flight departs from Chicago at 12:36 PM where I'll then have a thirteen hour long flight where I'll arrive in Tokyo at the Narita Airport.
Guys, I have no idea what I'll be doing in those 13 hours. Definitely sleeping, but I think I'm going to stay on my laptop for as long as the battery holds, read the Hunger Games, and study for the placement exam. So yea, I'll have to bring my textbooks as a carry on unfortunately, unless I make notes for both of them.

After arriving at the airport I'll have to find my luggage which, fingers crossed, won't get lost or delayed during the trip there.

Next step is to find the Softbank center in the airport to register my new phone and call to let my parents know that I arrived safely. Once that's done, I call the Narita Airport Hostel where I'll be staying to let them know I'm ready to be picked up from the airport. I'll arrive, check in, put my bags away, then simply explore and soak in everything for the following three days before orientation.

On May 31st, I'll have to check out from the hostel and return to the airport to meet up with the orientation group. From there we'll travel to the orientation center, after which I have no idea what we're doing. I'll post an update later to see if things actually go according to plan haha.

Phew, finally caught up with all that's going on! So much is happening in this last week, I'll be sure to post or vlog what's going on and the departure day.

One Response so far.
