Ok, so here's the deal... I am sooo not technologically savvy, so please endure as I attempt to master this phenomenon they call "blogging." It's apparently what all the cool kids are doing these days, so here we go...
The boy and I are officialy in Japan and have been here for just over a week. We arrived here in Oki late Friday the 13th... freaky, huh? Well, everything here in Japan is about good luck, so i'm hoping our arrival date will in no way corrupt our time here in Oki! I'll rub some extra Buddha bellies for luck...
A brief overview of the last week and a half... total CHAOS! We left New Orleans at 4pm on Wednesday, March 11th, and didn't arrive in Oki until Friday the 13th at around 9pm their time... which just happens to be about 13 hours ahead of Eastern Time Zone... translation, we were exhausted. Too much happened on the way here for this post... there will be another entire post dedicated to that drama... ugh. Looking back on it all now it was very funny, but not at the time. It's a good story, I will tell ya'll later, I promise.
Anywho... getting here took... 60 hours on the run thru airports, 24 of it on a plane, 15 hours of that flying time in FIRST CLASS (video courtesy of the flip coming soon), 4 hours of delays, and one aborted take-off cruisin' down the runway (very scary)!! We had 2 petrified black labs totally drugged out of their minds, 4 suitcases all weighing about 70lbs, 2 lost plane tickets, one fight with a cabbie, no home, no cars, no jobs, and no clue where we were at what time... total havoc!
Needless to say we made it safe finally! Our AMAZING sponsors had a ride lined up for us and our hotel room full of goodies stocked up for us in the puppies all ready for us... such a relief!! We settled in quickly, took hot showers, and passed the heck out... only to wake up at 4am and stare at the clock! Yay for jetlag!! The whole "TLF" or temporary living facilities, will also have to be saved for another post... way too much bitchin' to be had in this little tiny post. I've been living in one for 3 weeks and I am so ready to get in our new house tomorrow. More on that later too...
So on a lighter note, we are safe and loving it here. Lots to tell but for now it's 10:30pm here and time to try and get some sleep. Jetleg is a total bitch but luckily we have Starbucks and Seattle's Best here, much to my delight, and it's keeping me alive! But will all great coffee, there is a great crash! So... now I must crash... goodnight to you all... or good morning I should say! It's 9am your time!
Keep an eye open on the site... lots to come!
