Japan Trip Mini-Experiment #1: New York City
A few weeks back, I wrote a post about heading to Japan for a month. The plan is to land with what will fit in a backpack and explore. I think I need to prepare.
As of 7 AM this morning, I'm riding to RDU airport. I'm getting on a plane to NYC (a place to which I've never been) with a ticket I bought on a spur-of-the-moment purchase this morning. I'm taking advantage of JetBlue's $10 flight promotion (thanks, JetBlue), so the barrier to entry is pretty low ($62 after taxes and fees, including a stop in Boston). I'll be landing with just the bare essentials--my tickets, my wallet, and my phone--and explore for 24 hours.
I have no hotel plans. I have no itinerary. I spent two hours researching and studying about the city. This is going to be exciting.
Check back for updates throughout the day.
