The light at the end of the tunnel is now in my face, the finish line is in sight and the goal is within touching distance. I just have endure five (looong) weeks before I jet off to Japan for 21 days. All the boxes listed in my previous update on Operation Visit Japan have been ticked. Japan visa, US transit visa, leave from work, train pass exchange order and plane tickets! All the steps listed have some kind of interesting story attached to them from going too early to apply for Japan visa to having American Airline’s website explode into tiny pieces in the middle of my booking session. I cannot thank everyone who has helped me get this far enough and I do mean EVERYONE who has contributed in one way or another to my dream becoming a reality in a few weeks.
Fit a tornado into a pocket
All thats left now to plan out my itinerary which will be a big task as my head is a big mash-up of everything I want to see, do, eat and experience in Japan plus there is a humongous list of cool peeps I have met online over the course of the years I have been blogging that I want to meet-up with while in Japan. The only analogy I can think of for this situation is trying to fit a tornado into a pocket, but I will find a way to fit it all in!

I can imagine the anticipation is HUGE! Only a few years before I go.![[smile]](http://www.jamaipanese.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/squint.jpg)
trouble is time has suddenly slowed down, excitement tends to do that…
Dude I’m so psyched for you, can’t wait for you to get there!
thanks bro!
Hey,
Congrats on reaching so far with your goal.
You’re in touching distance.
Enjoy your time abroad.
Awesome dude. Feel free to pop by and say hi if you get to the West coast of Yamaguchi!
Yamaguchi might be out of my radar but you never know! I’ll keep that in mind.
I’m happy for you. You’ll step on Japanese soil before me :) I delayed my plans, because of job and wedding preparations, but might go later this year.
Have fun :)![[girl]](http://www.jamaipanese.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/girl.jpg)
Wow it’s been a while since you’ve stopped by, just as long since I checked out your blog.
Congrats on your wedding, that is awesome news.
Kool.. just watch out for Yakuza. They’d have a field day with you.
Living the dream +1
