The Beginning

Ok! So I could bore you with the details on who I am, ect ect. Chances are though if you are reading this you know me already! Whether it is from my hometown, school, work, VoiceHollywood, Viridia, Pandora, or wherever we have met; somehow you are now following my adventures to Japan (P.S, if you are a stranger that is pretty cool but how did you stumble on this? Jw!)

Overall I guess it hasn't really sunk in. I mean over the months of planning, coordinating, paying money out the wazoo and working, packing, ect. I am finally here. It makes me think of the time I tried to jump off the 8ft cliff into the water in Arizona. Despite the many times I tried to do it and couldn't there came a time where I just jumped.

And that is what I am doing right now. Just Jumping.

I have no idea what to expect at all. And overall that is a terrifying but exciting prospect. It is only 10:39 AM, however I have been up since 4:00 or so because I had to be at the airport at 4:45. By the way. The city of Greensboro at the hour of 6 am looks like someone went wild with gold glitter. It was pretty darn cool. There was a little kid on the plane that freaked out midflight, we hit a bit of turbulence but not a lot. As the Mom was getting off the plane she accidentally hit the kid's head against the overhead compartment. I felt bad for the little guy. He was having a rough morning.

I slept a bit on that plane then I arrived at Detroit which is where I am currently. I am waiting for my flight that leaves at like...... 4 pm.... agh. This layover lol. I've already completed some chapters of The Last Olympian.

Sooo when I arrived there was this big long crazy tunnel thing. It led from the Domestic Airport (which I saw stops to Evansville, IN which made me think of Cole, and Charlotte, NC which made me laugh cause that is pretty much home) to the International Airport.

Rainbowwww

And then the Tunnel begins to remind me of the Willy Wonka Tunnel
I mean seriously even if there was no crazy pictures of creepy things here, the bright flashing lights itself was enough to confuse and give me a slight headache. And it is a pretttty long tunnel! After that I took my Dad's advice and got some water and exchanged some money! I then got breakfast at this place calllllled Max & Erma's it was pretty good! Had myself an Omelette with ham, cheese, tomato, and mushrooms. It came with hashbrowns and fruit salad and toast! Talk about a full meal. The waitress was nice and the service was so quick it was ridiculous. Because Edwin requested here is pictures of my breakfast. I bet I looked weird as I was snapping these photos.

I dunno how I feel about this photo

Doesn't it look yummy? Cause it was.
After I ate I talked to the waitress and now I am here. Outside next to the walkway thingy waiting for my flight. I deleted all the photos and videos off my Memory Card, it was about time I did it anyways. I then worked on deciding the name for the blog. It was hard. But I like this one. I think it kinda conveys what I want.

More updates to come when I think of them. Oh and another thing I love about this airport is all the writing in Japanese. Usually you see English and Spanish but here it is English and Japanese. Not a lot. But enough that it makes me like excited.

Trammmmmm

It passes by a lot.

P.S.- Nani is like 15 minutes away from me. How come this fact wasn't discovered sooner?!!?

P.S.2 - I took another picture!

You can see the Katakana and Kanji
