Please excuse the shameless self-promo, but the Kids are heading Stateside at long last. The letter of resignation has been tendered and there is in fact light at the end of the tunnel.

The plan is to head back to ROC and start of an LLC in the interest of bringing Japan and the US (or perhaps just ROC) a little closer together. I will continue handling the import/export business for my current employer, but will be able to do so on my own time and terms, and with a refreshing absence of the rampant cigarette smoke. (The kind that would close down ORD on an otherwise clear day.)

If any of you all are interested in the nit and gritty or are hoping to get more involved with Japan, feel free to drop me a line at [email protected] or my other addresses.

With only a couple trans-Pac flights scheduled, I also look forward to your tips on mileage runs - we've never done that!
