Not a road trip...

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for a 3 week adventure in Korea and Japan.  A month ago, I was days from pulling the trigger on buying a plane ticket to Japan when I found out a paper I had been trying to publish for years was accepted at a conference in Korea.  There was no longer time to hem and haw, and before I knew it, I had plane tickets and hostels planned in Korea and Japan, with my roommate, Jacob, on board for the Japan part.
