Word of the day : Ohayou Gozaimasu (Ohio Go-zi-mus)
Means - Good Morning

We made it, and it is all we expected it to be and more!! We arrived last night on the "Patriot Express" from Seattle to Okinawa around 1750 or so. The flight was long but we really did over-stress about making sure the kids had plenty to do. They have in-flight on-demand movies and Nickelodeon as well as video games and trivia that you can play with the rest of the plane, they even show your seat number so people can come by and laugh at you when you don't know the answers.

The craziest thing is that we never saw night-fall, ever, it was daytime the whole trip until we arrived to Okinawa and we were deboarding the plane. That will mess you up. We originally were expecting to go to a hotel on Camp Courtney but our sponsor informed us that Camp Courtney had no power today from 0800-1800 so she moved us to Camp Foster for 2 days then we will move over to Courtney(God love her). Viva, our sponsor had sandwich stuff and cereal with a few other things in our room when we arrived so we ate a quick bite and crashed hard. I think the kids where asleep before they even hit their pillows!! We were all up around 0300 and Steve and I found ourselves a little restless but that did not last long and we were right back to sleep.

The weather when we arrived was muggy and damp, Viva said it had rained so it wasn't quite as humid as it should be. Great!! There will be no need to ever really fix my hair here, ever. Today we are going to start small and go pick up laundry detergent and our manual to practice for or drivers test on Tuesday, wish me luck!! We may venture off for dinner tonight, I don't know?

Just wanted to let you guys know we are in and trying to soak everything up. The kids on the way to Camp Courtney form the airport where sooooo excited and trying to look at so much at once they said their eyes hurt! Now that's REALLY checkin' things out!!

Love you guys and we will have internet connection today and tomorrow so we will be checking back in with you. Have a great day!
