Back to the USA

After an 8 and half hour flight from Yokota to Seattle , then a 12 hour layover.  Followed by a 5 hour flight to North Carolina and a two hour layover, with another 2 hour flight to Tampa , we have made it back to the states to begin our pcs.   We spent the first day visiting family in Florida and the kids enjoyed playing with their cousins.  They stayed with them while me and Robbie go and pick up our new puppies.  Right now we are in Covington LA and are headed to Magnolia today to pick up Bear and Meeko and then turn right back around and head to Georgia for our visit there.

Last week in Japan

We are now in TLF.  This is our last week in Japan.  Tomorrow we are suppose to be hit by a typhoon.   Hopefully it won't delay our flight any.   They boys are ready to go back to the states but also not ready to leave all of their friends and what they have grown use to during the last four years.   Last night the boys were talking about Arby's, Cracker Barrel, Chickfila, Wendy's and other restaurants that they haven't had in the last four years.   Avery and Hunter have been a trooper with the Japanese culture.  They tried Octopus and actually liked it.  I have to give them credit, I wouldn't try it but they did and liked it.   We will really miss Japan.  I wouldn't mind being stationed back in Japan in the future, but  for now we are states bound and excited to be picking up our new additions to the family.  Bear and Meeko, two beautiful Alaskan Malamutes.
