So the journey begins. I left Cresthill this afternoon & arrived in the twin cities where I am staying with Compton's mom & stepdad close to the airport. Tomorrow I depart at 7am for Japan where I will arrive in Sapporo at 8:30pm on TUESDAY. Yes, it will be a long flight. Hopefully there will be plenty of wireless internet in Japan and y'all can stay caught up on my going-ons.
