Home, sweet, home-ish!

I'll be heading to Tottori prefecture!! Though still no word on which city/town/village I'm headed to. It's on the southern part of the main island (Kyoto's only a bullet train ride away!), and therefore is NOT Hokkaido. Woot. I'm just not built for that level of holy-crap-it's-cold-here. Apparently it also has some sand dunes, so I guess they thought they'd send the desert rat to the desert. Fair enough. :)
