I have not yet committed to this trip to Japan, but I get closer all the time. Today I met with Karen, my Japanese Art History Professor, who is the inspiration for my trip. She gave me some suggestions for places to stay and discussed things I want to see. When I get my airplane ticket then I will be committed. Maybe next week. In the meantime I am looking at travel books and my internet links. I plan to compile a list and make a definite plan. Most of the time I like to go somewhere and then decide what I will see. I think I need more structure to make this trip a success.
