So, What's the Strategy?

I’m going for a Social Media strategy…blogging, tweeting, yelping, picasa-ing. I’ll be using this blog to document my steps to obtaining this trip…learning Japanese, taking a Flower arrangement course, becoming a pro at origami…In the meantime, I’ll also be blogging about my own trips, restaurants, points of interests, etcetera, etcetera, ad infinitum…

So, I guess what I really need are some followers. That way those judges will know that the things I'm writing about are actually being read. But hey, one step at a time!! This is only my second blog entry!




So, you! Yes You!! The random person that just happened onto the blog by clicking the wrong link on Twitter. Let me know in the comments what else I could do to get ready for Japan. And yes, I’ve already taken a course in Sushi making, so I’m good there. Oh, and while you’re here…become my first Follower and you will win the right to have your pic/icon right here on the right border of my blog for all (or as of now, none) to see!!

My Trip to Japan

I know it’s a long shot, but hey, you can’t win anything you don’t try, right?
Ugh, there goes the negativity again…Starting off this whole blog with “I know it’s a long shot.” My husband always warns me about prefacing things with negativity. Like “I know it’s past the 30 day return policy because it’s been 31 days, but can I please return this?” Yep, that’s me. You’ll probably learn a lot about me in this blog, and I’m ok with that. I’ve got a trip to Japan at stake. So here it goes.

Basically, Japan’s National Tourism Orgainization has proposed an initiative to give away 10,000 flights to Japan to increase tourism since the industry has been hurt by the Tsunami and on-going Nuclear Radiation threat. Of course, this is all pending examination and approval from the government. But, I’m not going to think negative here, remember? They will definitely be giving away trips and I’m going to try to snag four to bring my family.

So, stay tuned!!
