Lots of people spend days thinking about what they will do in Japan without really thinking about the night before – all that preparation. And, of course, there is the flight to contend with and 14 hours (give or take, depending on where you fly from) is nothing to scoff at either. You need a plan and you need a routine if you want this trip to go off without a hitch.
For starters, get everything packed. You want to be ready to jump out that door when it’s time and you need to make sure you have everything. Next, get a good night’s sleep. Sure, it can be difficult finding rest when you are so excited about the trip, but make the time and make it happen. You will also want to arrange to have your mail and newspaper taken care of while you are gone. Be sure to get up so that you have enough time to get through customs, but don’t forget to lock your door and activate your ADT Security Systems if you have them.
During the flight, remember to get up and walk around. Seriously, get the blood moving. You will also want to get some sleep. You might think you can stay up the entire trip to sync up with Japan time, but don’t – you will be exhausted and it will only intensify the jet lag.
Of course you can spend time wondering what you will do IN Japan but a healthy amount of time should always be spent in preparation.
