Booked and ready to Fly

We have our plane tickets! Ever since the military announced large budget rollbacks, almost no one flies commercial anymore. I would say 98% of outgoing families are booked to fly from a military base here In Japan to the commercial airport in Seattle via a government contracted airplane. This means no frills, like fancy in-flight movie screens on the seat backs.

Once we arrive in Seattle, John and I take different routes. He connects through to San Diego, where he'll be attending school and I grab my baggage and re-check into more flights ultimately ending up in Alabama late, late at night. It's going to be a very busy and very tiring couple of days.

Nine more days...
