WE MADE IT!


Well, two airplanes, two cities, 4 movies, 15 hours of flying time, 4 hours of ground transportation and a couple hours of sleep and we are finally here! Austin was such a trooper...never complained about anything except the airplane food......well, Dad complained about the food too but he ate his....and Austin's, but we all did really well. Getting through the bus and train stations were definitely an experience. Arriving at Curtis and Deana's house was half the fun! We learned a couple new words already.....how to say thank you, I'm sorry, and excuse me! LOL I have a feeling we'll be using those the most.

This is our welcome to Japan sign!

Tomorrow we're going to a local park, riding a ferris wheel and doing some local touristy stuff. Hopefully the weather will be nice enough to see Mt. Fuji in the morning.

My goodness - it almost seemed like y'all got there b4 you left...lol! As much as DST messes me up, I would be in a world of hurt going there. You guys don't even look tired. So glad y'all had a good & safe trip. I'm ready for the adventures of "Mississippi Born Tennessee Hillbillies Go to Japan", it's gotta be fun! Hope you could view Mt. Fuji this morning. ~ ~ ~ Love you all ~ ~ ~
