More planning

Mid December brought a trip to the Japan Consulate in Detroit for Visa applications.  We have been approved for our trip.  I guess they don't check everything.  :)  Now the packing starts.  Our living room is being filled with all essentials for a year away from home.  It is definitely an obstacle course to walk through it.  At least we don't have to bring furniture.  Our new apartment does have a sofa and ottoman in the family room.  We felt that was a little sparse, so we made a trip to Ikea for a couple of Poang chairs.  They will be very easy to ship.

This week we will also get our international drivers licenses.  We will not have a car in Tokyo, but we might want to rent one for "out of the city" exploring.  Our friends, Pat and Gary, have booked their flights for their March visit with us.
