The trip is finally booked, but I am still in planning stages. A rough outline for my itinerary is set:
First leg: Flying to Tokyo on May 19th, arriving May 20th. (I will lose about 16 hours during my flight across the Pacific!) I'm going to spend about 2 or 3 days in Tokyo, and then spend a week riding the train to other regions of Japan. Total time: 10 days.
Second leg: Take the "JR Beetle" ferry boat from Japan to Busan, South Korea. Spend the next week exploring South Korea, arriving in Seoul with a day or two to explore.
Final leg: Fly from Seoul to Hong Kong, where I will explore this amazing city for 4 days. I'll be catching a direct flight from HK to Chicago when the trip is done (15 hour flight time). Interestingly, I will gain so much time on this flight home, only 2 hours will elapse from takeoff to arrival.
Armed with nothing but my handy brand new Chromebook, a digital camera and a backpack, my goal is to explore Asia and have the time of my life. The hardest part of this trip will be going three weeks without a haircut.
