packing panic

So it’s slowly dawning on me that we leave for Tokyo in three days Ack!

I can’t put off the packing decisions any longer, obviously. Time to start picking out suitcases and deciding what to put in them.

Those of you who’ve been to Tokyo and/or Shanghai…any tips on things that I must bring with me? Things that would be difficult or impossible to acquire there if I forgot them? Things that would make our lives significantly easier on the incredibly long plane trip from Detroit to Tokyo, or after we arrive?

I did a self-serving thing in my graduate web design class this quarter, and had their group project be a travel guide to Tokyo and Shangai. Some of the groups provided some useful “pre-flight checklist” material, which is great. But I also want to tap into the amazing groupmind of readers on this site. I know some of you have travelled to these countries before, and I’d love to have the benefit of your hindsight as I’m making plans…
