REFLECTIONS

Hello from Hanno. The kids had a great ride to LAX. The driver had the music up and everyone was in great spirits. What can you say about airports other than they are airports.... The sq. pottys are a hit. Our traveling day went very well.

"We all got to the high school @ 5:15 this morning...I don`t know about everyone else, but I`ve been up since 4, and got barley any sleep because I was so excited. The bus was so freaking awesome! Ha, there wasn`t enough room in the back for all our stuff, so a few suitcases had to join us in the "limo" bus. The moving walkways at LAX gave us MUCH entertainment. The plane ride was LONG to say the least! I think we were all more than ready to get out and get our experience IN Japan started. Japan is amazing. We are all a bit jet lagged, but happy. I was in the same hotel room as Molly, and we observed that Japan is random. Mismatched, maybe. In Brea everything matches. Here it`s different Beautiful, but different. I love it. HaHa, there`s a Denny`s right next to the hotel. Wonder if it tastes the same as back home.. Anyway Japan is awesome!" ~Beverly Falco.


Arrival in Japan after a very long flight. After customs and currency exchange,
it's time to head to Hanno, with a quick stop at a rest stop and market.
