The road has ended!  And boy was it an adventure.  This episode of the Road to Japan will cover the final leg of my journey:  From the flight to the dorm.

As I sat in the airport this morning with my mum, step father and Amy-chan, things still didn’t really kick in.  I felt just as normal as usual, no excitement, nothing.  In fact, as I sit here in the computer lab in Seminar house 3 i still feel the same.  This is my new life.

The only thing that really stirred up some sort of emotion today was seeing Amy off.  She’s been super strong this entire time, never shed a tear, and was only ever excited for me, and she stayed strong this morning.  She was laughing and kidding around with me as she always does.  So when it came time to go past the 2nd baggage check thingo (passengers only) I said my goodbyes, hugs and kisses and made off for the queue.  Well… the queue was a little long so i joined the end of it and i was pretty much still in plain view of everyone that I just said bye to, so was Mitch.  So we stood there saying: “This is awkward, we just said bye but we’re right here…”.
