23 sleeps!
Yesterday was a good day. I finally submitted my paper to be considered for publication. It feels so good to have that off my plate for a few weeks while it passes through editors and referees.
Also, Myk and I have booked most of our rooms for the duration of our trip! We have been picking through travel books and scouring the internet to find neat places a reasonable prices and have been succeeding remarkably well. And ever time we make a decision that finalizes our plans in some small was a little part of me worries that we aren’t making the best choice and we might miss out on some fascinating detail of the country as a result - and then a google search or flickr will bring up a bit of fascinating information we hadn’t known when we made our choice, or an image that takes my breath away and I realize that the trip is probably going to keep blowing me away at every turn. It is going to be such an adventure and I am so excited about going adventuring together.

and i must say i am tres jalouse about your upcomming japan adventure. i am not even home yet and am already thinking about where i can go next.
i didn´t bring my ring with me for the trip and know exactly what you mean about being without it. for the first month i just kept touching my finger subconsciously and then freaking out because i thought i dropped it or lost it somewhere.
long distance hugs from brazil!
