$destination = "Chicago";

This is going to be my first post on this blog not related to Japan in some way.

I have been asked to go to Chicago next week for 1 day. One of our clients needs someone to fix a bug on their intranet and they can't give external access to it. Therefore they are going to fly me down there to go to their location and fix the problem.

I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I have never done a business trip before so I don't know how this all works. Plus I am scared of going to the States. I keep hearing horror stories about US customs.

I will have to find someone to look after my cats.
