After months of planning and uncertainty, tomorrow is departure day for the 2011 Maine Business School MBA trip to Japan. Since the unfortunate events of March 11 and the difficult circumstances caused by the failure of the nuclear facility, the questions of travel to Japan caused great stress and concern for everyone involved. Patience, perseverance and dedication prevailed and we are off tomorrow with six MBA students on an exciting cultural and educational journey to Tokyo and Kyoto.

I will be posting daily reports and expect the students to also offer their insights and observations.
