In less than 24 hours I should be on a plane back to North America. It’s been just about two months since we relocated to Tokyo and this will be my first trip back to the States.<\/p>\n

I have to be honest, I’m heading back with mixed emotions. There are many things I’m looking forward to. In no particular order:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cooler temperatures and lower humidity.<\/li>\n
  2. Family and friends<\/li>\n
  3. Quality fruits and vegetables (mmm – d’anjou pears, granny smith apples, affordable watermelon)<\/li>\n
  4. Commuting (seriously, I’m looking forward to going to the office)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That said, I think I’m going to miss a few things in Tokyo, too:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The view from our apartment<\/li>\n
    2. The newness that greets us with every morning in a new city\/country\/culture<\/li>\n
    3. Plumbing (this country knows how to design a toilet and bathtub\/shower)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Oddly enough, Randy is already in the United States. Because of a death in the family he went to Virginia on Monday and will return to Tokyo next Monday. He’ll be back in Tokyo for just a week and a half and then fly to Boston to join me for a few weeks. This puts us apart for just over 2.5 weeks, making this the longest we’ve been separated.<\/p>\n

      And I don’t like it.<\/p>\n
