Travel!

 I'm leaving today for Japan. Actually, I left for LA on Sunday. Today is my 12 hour flight to Tokyo.  I was reflecting on other long flights - Israel was long, but broken up with a stop in Zurich.  Morocco was long. The drive to the Grand Canyon, back in '87 was my longest road trip. My goodness, I can't stay focused!

When i began prepping for a journal to work on during this trip, a friend suggested a daily haiku.  Great idea!
