Hokkaido!

I am leaving tomorrow morning for the snowy white land to the north. Timmy, Francois, Danielle, BC, and I will be descending upon the northern island in approximately 19 hours! Excited about boarding on the powdery goodness that everyone keeps talking about up there. First, however, will be the revelry and pancakes in Inami.

Also, I just spent the afternoon rebooking my transport for my US trip next month. The folks flipped about me driving 18 hours on my own, and upon realizing that, yes, I am admitting it... they were right. I have instead bought a plane ticket from Indiana to Florida, and set up two separate car rentals. Whew. I am finished.

More when I return from the Yuki Matsuri! (snow festival)
