Tokyo here we come

I like the image of a mother cat carrying her kitten which is the logo for the friendly guys at Yamato Transport.

The movers from Yamato arrived this AM and packed up our things.  Our biggest concern was not to take too much stuff.  And it was liberating to decide what things you need and what we are content to leave behind.  

We are moving from our 1740s farmhouse in Massachusetts to a 3 bedroom apartment in the center of Tokyo.  Our house is great for what it is.  But, I have to admit, it will be nice in the winter to have some carpet under foot. 

I fly out with 2 of my kids on Monday.  And my wife will come as soon as she gets our oldest daughter settled into her dorm at college.
