Its Happening........
Its really happening! The Visa is ready! I have booked my flight and I am out of here!
Its a mixture of feelings. In fact I am probably the strangest human cocktail going now!
I am of course extremely sad to be leaving Japan,but the other ingredient is excitement,fear,a healthy dose of cluelessness and a whole heap of anticipation.
BRING IT ON!

It will not be said again!
Okay dear readers,Well the ones that know that I am planning a getaway from Japan.
My bags are packed.In fact thay have been patiently sitting for a while now.I am not quite sure of my departure date yet.I am waiting for my visa.It could be next week.Thats my plan.
I feel like I am living in 3 different places already.I am trying to stay in the moment though.
So if one more person (especially the ones who have heard the long labourious tales of my Visa application) asks me have I bought my ticket yet ?,or when are you leaving ?,I will do a mary alice and stomp away.You have been warned.
The short answer is ,I DONT KNOW,but very soon.As soon as the embassy contact me and tell me my visa is ready you wont see me for the flurry of dust.........believe me as much as I love you all ,goodbyes suck and its been a long time coming..........

Inside,out..................
He is gone.........I left him in his little cage at the cargo department at Narita. He was calm and relaxed..........well by then at any rate.It was a big day for him.Planes ,trains and taxis.He hates cars.Likes trains and well,I dont know how he feels about planes.I wasnt with him.
The whole process of getting an animal to another country is laborious,and also painful in the fact that he is now 30 days in a strange place with strange people. He is either going to hate me or love me when we meet next.........he may even not remember me??? Although I have been told that that wont be the case.He may be a little wild.But already my cat is taking after his mum!! Dontknow many pets as well travelled as him!!
I felt so torn saying goodbye but on hearing that he arrived safely and rather verbal,I am now a little calmer. Good Luck Benji!!! See you soon!!
