All packed up...

... and ready for my long weekend in Kyoto, Japan!   Our plane leaves in exactly 13 hours and  I'm feeling the anticipation building as I type this blog.   I have a feeling it'll be a while before I fall asleep tonight.  

Oh, and for those of you who were worried, my fever went away this afternoon - so I definitely don't have the swine flu!   Whew!  Now, if I cold only get rid of this darn cough!
