My last full day in Japan has come and gone. Tomorrow we will make the trek (via Shinkansen) back to Tokyo and on to Narita Airport for our 1910 departure bound for DFW.<\/p>\n
Today was a nice, relaxing last day. The majority of it was spent on Kyoto City Buses (because\u00a0traffic is so bad congested here getting from point A to point B takes forever), but during the time we spent off the bus, we saw a castle and some temples.<\/p>\n
As much as I have enjoyed my time in Japan, I am ready to go home. Life stateside has become more appealing day by day. The things that we take for granted (free refills on soft drinks mainly), I am greatly looking forward to having again, but now with a greater appreciation of them.<\/p>\n
I would like to thank everyone who helped make this trip possible for me. It’s been expensive, so the money that you all provided me with has been more than welcomed! I couldn’t have done it without you! Be watching the mail … the Japanese Post Office was closed for four days straight due to the New Year’s holiday, but I finally got a chance to send some mail home!<\/p>\n
In\u00a0about\u00a024 hours I’ll be boarding American Airlines flight 60 for DFW. But crazily enough, due to the time change, I’ll be home in a little less than 20 hours… See you all soon! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
