Ugh

My legs are incredibly sore. I'm trying to get on a sane schedule, so I woke myself up early. So I'm tired too.

I ordered a new digital camera for my trip. I wish it was here. I could have played with it. It is a Panasonic TZ5.

Instead I did all kinds of shitty paperwork. I was then too depressed and tired to go to AAR. Plus I don't feel like driving up to Irvine unless I have some other things to do.

I should go to bed now, but after feeling tired all day, I am now no longer tired. My heart is almost racing.

I decided to book a real hotel for my first two days in Tokyo. $160 a night. I just don't feel like coping with jet lag in a youth hostel. So, my first two days are planned, 18 more to go. Day three, I'll get on a train and go somewhere. Don't know where, but I'm thinking:

Tokyo
Sapporo
Shiretoko National Park
Sapporo
Mutsu
Yagen Valley
Osorezan
Mutsu
Hiroshima
Oosaka
Fukuoka Yamakasa festival is Jul 1-20 -- Maybe I'll go Jul 1-3
Tokyo for the last 4-5 days.

Now I need to figure out what is possible.

In progress... I think I'll try camping near hot springs in a couple places. Should be fun, and save some cash, while giving me an excuse to buy a nice sleeping bag. :)
