No its not left hand threads. Remember righty, tighty... sometime you can get disoriented when you are laying under the car.
Besure to remove the "fill" plug before draining your trans oil!! 
I think the fill and drain plugs are a 8mm allen/socket/hex.
Looking on Amazon here is a nice set. But I am sure you could also pick up something at your local Harbor Freight or Sears or AutoZone.

Thanks, Dack!
I finally got both plugs off - it was just a matter of finding just the right angle that I could barely slip on my cheater bar (one-half of a floor jack handle). Not much space between the transmission and the ground on jack stands, and (like you mentioned) I was afraid that I might have been turned around and disoriented, and wanted to make extra sure it wasn't a left-handed bolt or something (although that would be a really odd place for one, admittedly).
