The Eagle has landed

I just got a phone call from Kamata-san. The group has arrived at the airport all in one piece. He said that the students needed to exchange some money, and then they would head off to the hotel. The schedule is that they will spend the night at a hotel near the airport, and then travel up here to Miyagi by bus tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow afternoon I will meet them in Matsushima and spend the day touring around the historical sights there. We'll spend the night at the nicest hotel in one of the more famous places in Japan, and on Thursday they will finally arrive in Misato.
Rest easy knowing that everyone got to Japan safely, and were in good spirits.

ready or not...

I just got word that the group from Winona got on the bus and is on their way. This morning Endo and Kamata headed towards Narita Airport to meet the group. They will spend the night down there with everyone, and then travel up here to Miyagi tomorrow morning.

I'll be busy this week, but I'll try and keep everyone up to date.
