Dot's first post -- trip preparations and trepidations

Well, here I am deciding to create a blog - who would have guessed?

But since I am going to be heading off to Japan in a few weeks on a business trip - along with my coworker Karen - and figure with my luck and the cultural and language differences this could be humorous (I am hoping for humorous and not disasterous).
My fears and doubts -- so far
> when we land we have to take a Limo/Bus to the hotel - we land supposedly at 445 pm and the last bus to the hotel is at 650 pm ... Will the plane be on time? Can we get through customs that fast?

>we are staying at the Grand Pacific Le Daiba (http://grandpacific.jp/eng/) which looks pretty darn fancy to me. I am half afraid when I get there they will tell me "the service entrance is around back"















>then to get to the office we have to take the monorail which is right outside the hotel for 3 stops, but no one has yet to tell us where to go once we get off

I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens... one part of me says it will work out fine and then there is the part of me that says "oh boy!"(or words to that effect).

So I am planning on posting what happens on the trip hopefully with pics and fun stories and hope someone will read this and enjoy.

I probably won't post again until I am on the trip unless something else exciting or crazy happens before then.
