					<description><![CDATA[So, success.  My mom and I got our passports. We drove up and arrived around 1:30 AM, slept, woke up, went to our passport appointment, had lunch at a British style pub, picked up our passports, and then spent the rest of the day walking from 0 N. Michigan Ave. to 820 N. Michigan Ave.  It was awesome.  I got like 5 shirts out of it...Anyways my feet hurt a lot and we got lost on the way home so now it's 5:20 AM, and I want to sleep.<p style='clear:both;'/>My travel photos can be found here:<br><a href='http://s509.photobucket.com/albums/s332/TravelBot/' target=_blank rel='nofollow'>http://s509.photobucket.com/albums/s332/TravelBot/</a><p style='clear:both;'/>You need that whole link.  Copy and paste.  I don't know why it only links up half of it..<p style='clear:both;'/>You'll see on the left, TravelBot.  That's my username.   You'll click that to navigate back to the albums page, which are listed on the left.<br>--<p style='clear:both;'/>OKAY I AM TIRED GOODNIGHT.]]></description>

					<title><![CDATA[8 days till lift-off..]]></title>
					<description><![CDATA[As you may or may not know, mom and I are leaving to go to <a href="/Japan">Japan</a> on <a href="/United-States/August">August</a> 4th(!).<br>Jamie gave me the idea to keep a travel-blog on which I can post embarrassing pictures, terrifying moments, etc.  Not a bad idea.   What with there being 8 days till departure, and we still don't have our passports, we'll be driving up to <a href="/United-States/Chicago">Chicago</a> (4 hours) tomorrow evening to make our appointment at noon the next day with the passport expediting agency.  I'll like to think of this as the first leg of the trip...<br>---------<br>I decided that I'll spend my 12 hours on the plane crocheting goodies.. Which means I'll need a new pattern book and some nice new skeins of yarn.<br>I've already looked into it and see that crochet hooks and knitting needles are (specifically!) allowed. <a href='http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm' target=_blank rel='nofollow'>http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm</a> No need to fear.  Other than that, this is for my sake.  --<p style='clear:both;'/>Stuff I need to remember to do--<br>-Buy properly fitting clothes<br>-Get hair appointment<br>-Shoes<br>-Containers for shampoo<br>-Soap, acne wash, shaving cream, razor<br>-Toothbrush, toothpaste<br>-Deodorant (and some for Bro) (Also anbesol)<br>-Find indiv. wrapped candies for <a href="/Japan/Matsuyama">Matsuyama</a> san<br>-Batteries<br>-Passport<br>-Laptop + charger, Camera + charger, Video camera + charger<br>-Outlet converters<br>-Re-paint my toenails..<br>....<p style='clear:both;'/><br>I'm sure I'm missing something drastically important.]]></description>
