Vegas was a prototype for my trip to Japan. You never know how something will happen until it happens. Aside from the usual concerns like where we're gonna stay or how we're gonna feed ourselves, Vegas was a test of endurance. Our plan was to stay up all night. We failed.
If we couldn't do it in Vegas, I doubt we could do it in Japan. Unlike America, night clubs live up to their name. The action starts at midnight and real dancers don't go home until the morning sun rises. I could barely keep my eyes open and all we did was lounge around bars. If I'd been dancing, I'd be dead on my feet.
I've been working on my stamina. You can call it light training. I've been running a couple miles a week and doing long walks along the riverbank. I'm trying to get a good mix of jogging and extended walking. It'll still be another couple months before the trip, but I should be in great shape by then.
It's been difficult to get back into the regimen since Vegas screwed up my sleep schedule. The lingering aftereffects are still being felt. To make things worse, the Uncharted 4 beta kept me up all night in the following weekend. I haven't had a chance to recover at all.
You don't get moments like those everyday.
