Flew from Tampa to Seattle on April 16. Arrived in Seattle at 10:30pm PT/1:30am ET. Departed from Seattle to Misawa at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET.Arrived in Misawa on April 18 at 6:30 am Tokyo time - April 17 5pm ET. Slept on and off on the plane, and on and off before getting on the plane. Basically I was tired! I've never skipped a day before - that was kinda cool!
Not much of a view on the flight - I saw a few ice bergs while flying over Alaska. Then nothing, nothing, nothing until I saw the shoreline of Japan. There were still a few small ice chunks in the water and military ships sailing near the coast. I could see some mountains off in the distance and before long we were landing.
Total time in flight from Seattle to Misawa was 9 hours- total time from Tampa was 28 hrs!!!! Special thanks to Aunt Nancy for sending me on my way!
Mandatory dinner with the crew at 6pm to keep me awake. 7:30 Tokyo time/ 10:30am ET - Bed!
Love your blog, Valerie! This is a great way to keep us all posted on your Japanese adventures! Sorry re the food. Hopefully you can get some supplies shipped in or on base so you can cook all your favs. I'm still learning to cook myself, so I won't share any recipes...yet. Lol! Hope you have a great weekend, and Happy Easter, cousin!
