Go!!!!

Sorry it's taken me so long to update everyone. This last week has been crazy busy trying to settle in to our new life in Okinawa, Japan. I haven't been able to take many pictures as we don't have transportation yet, but we should get our car by the end of this week and we can explore the island and get pictures for everyone.

Last Friday we both flew out of Kansas/Mississippi on time and were able to meet up at the Dallas airport for our long flight to Tokyo. The 13 hour flight wasn't actually as bad as we thought it was going to be. We arrived in Tokyo at 10p.m Kansas time but 1p.m Saturday afternoon Japan time. We went through customs and instantly had some culture shock. We were both exhausted at this point, couldn't understand anyone, and already in trouble because we couldn't read the Japanese signs that apparently said "no pictures" (too late):

We waited at the airport for 6 hours and then flew to the beautiful island of Okinawa. It was a little disappointing because we came in at 10p.m and couldn't see anything from the air and very little from the airport to the base. Finally after being up for 26 hours we checked in to temporary housing and went to bed. A few hours later we were up again, still used to Kansas time. The next several days were full of sleeping at odd hours and middle-of-the-night snacks.

It took about 3 days but we finally got used to the new time and started the process of making this our new home. I'll fill you in on more later.
