AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
So I just woke up in Japan for the first time... it's Wednesday morning here! My travels were somewhat uneventful and I somehow managed to make it to the base all by myself... it's definitely a miracle. It was actually all pretty easy. I flew right through immigration and customs, went out into the main airport, followed signs for a Department of Defense shuttle, and 2 hours later I was on base in Yokosuka! The drive was nice, lots of green and we followed the coast for awhile too, it was mostly ports with lots of containers and cranes (sort of looked like Seattle).
I checked into the Navy Lodge and they gave me a whole bag full of snacks/groceries! I finally met Kate, my savior who has helped me through each step of the way and is going to give me the full tour today. She brought Damian and I a huge laundry basket full of food for our mini-fridge and lots of snack... she's so awesome! From our room we have a slight view of what I think is Tokyo Bay, but i'll have to get back to you on that...
I'm super jet-lagged, hence me blogging at 5:50 AM! I went to bed last night around 7pm... I was exhausted! The base is HUGE... and I probably haven't even seen half of it yet!
This morning I will be taking a housing class and will find out how long the wait list is for on-base housing... at that point Damian and I will have to decide if we are going to live on or off base. At this point it's fine if we stay in the hotel because our stuff STILL hasn't shipped from San Diego.... grrrrrrrrrrr!
I'm so excited to see my husband... hopefully soon! I'll let you know when he's back!!!!
Japanese word of the day:
Ohayo: Good Morning
