Looks like your packed pretty well :) Got the ipod loaded up with some good stuff?

Going to take any drinks or snacks with ya?

One thing I majorly have to recomend, ANY liquids or other spillables your taking, should be wrapped in a plastic bag. That includes all types of liquids, toothpaste, hair gel, drinks, etc. I can't tell ya how many times I've gone somewhere only to find out my water bottle was leaking in my backpack, or recently the container of hair gel decided to spout out a huge sticky mess, only to be saved from a huge cleanup by the plastic bag I put it in.

Well the thing is because of the new rules of air travel I am not allowed to take a water bottle now.
Security was really been stepped up because of 9/11.

Geeze.. I forgot about that. Barely been on a plane since then. Only really traveled a few times anyways.

I had never been on a plane before, then I was on 3 in one day, and up for 24 hours. Vic to Van, Van to LA, LA to Japan. The LA stop sucked, it was a 4 hour wait, and I had no US cash so I wasnt able to get any food, and ended up watching everyone else eat dinner. Your lucky your heading straight to Japan from Vancouver :)
