Today I received my flight information.

Seems pretty direct. I can't complain. Although, in case you aren't keeping track, that is about a day and a half of traveling. Even more exciting, though, is that I finally know where I will be living!

Leg 1 - Depart Narita Airport to Keiseiueno by Keisei Skyliner Line
Leg 2 - Continue to Ueno on foot
Leg 3 - Continue to Fukushima by Shinkansen Yamabiko Line
Leg 4 - Finish to Apartment on foot

I will be living in Fukushima in Fukushima Prefecture in the Tohoku Region of the Island of Honshu. (I know, its a mouthful). My address is

#402 Moriya Bldg
6-15 Wasecho
Fukushima-Shi
Fukushima-Ken
960-8044

Please write, and anybody who wants postcards from Japan should send me their addresses if they haven't already.

Little Yellow Flower

I have a very sad announcement to make. Charlotte recently passed away. For all of you who knew and loved her I would like you to know she died peacefully with Floyd by her side. It was just her time to go. I know her memory will live on in the fish bowls of our hearts, jumping in and out aggressively yet gracefully. I would like to ask you all to join me in a moment of silence for not only my pet, but my friend.

If any one would like to say goodbye to Charlotte she was buried beneath a Palm tree, under a little yellow flower. Just imagine a little yellow flower and hold up a piece of food for her to nibble off your finger.

Charlotte March 2005 - August 2006
