the last burrito

It's funny - having already been lucky enough to do one of these trips before I know exactly what the first thing that I'm gonna miss will be. Now I've whined bout bad burritos in Boston for some time now - but while you can get reasonably well executed Italian and French food and maybe even the occasional well-cooked burger in Asia, the one thing that I know full well I will have to go without for two months is a tasty burrito. So yesterday I had my last burrito at Felipe's in Harvard Square for lunch. While it was far from the best burrito I've had there or elsewhere, I did savor it a little more knowing that I won't be having another until mid-July.

Steve and I fly off in less than 10 hours and I think everything is just about ready. In the end I think I did a good job of packing light. I have about 8 days of clothes - maybe a bit more - all packed into a mini 20" carry-on and a backpack. As planned I'm also bringing my laptop, camera and of course my ipod... I still have lots of room in my bags to buy things along the way too - definitely did a better job packing than for my last trip I think.

I added a little time/date feature at the top of the blog. As you may have guessed, this is the local time wherever I may be. I don't think it would do you much good to have another clock showing your local time now would it. Alright, time to download some music for the road. Next stop Tokyo.
