One Week Until Takeoff!

Well, here we are on the homestretch of preparation for our trip... Our final meeting and potluck was yesterday, when everyone began to feel the jitters. We found out about our host families (although attempting to read the spread sheet was somewhat difficult) and also found out that Maggie's bag was a bit too small... (Packing, as we are probably all learning, is much more difficult than you'd think...)

The food was great; thanks to everyone who contributed! And a huge thanks also to Steve, Claudette, and Tess for joining us to help us understand what to expect of Japanese culture.

I, for one, cannot believe how quickly the time has passed. I am frantically trying to get my summer homework done before we leave...

Good luck packing everyone!!
