Arrival in Japan

We made it!  Kylee and I are checking into the Navy Lodge here at NAF Atsugi.  It's almost 2100 now, but it feels like 0500 (California Time).

The flight went fairly easily actually - thanks to in flight movies and TV shows, as well as books and music, the 12 hour flight passed relatively quickly.  We each had our own TV screen, and could select whatever movie or TV show we wanted to watch.

There was an exciting part of the flight where we passed through some turbulent air, and the plane seemed to go on a roller coaster ride!  It felt a bit like we were back at Disneyland - Kylee certainly seemed to think we were on Space Mountain again.  The trip smoothed out after that though, and the rest was smooth flying.

Lt Lathrop picked us up from Narita airport, drove us through Tokyo and to NAF Atsugi, and dropped us off at the Navy Lodge.  The skyline was pretty impressive, and the views of Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Tower were previews of the many sights to see in the next couple years.  Thanks to Lt Queen and his wife for putting some snacks and drinks in our room for us, and making us feel welcome!

We're headed to bed now, but we thank God for getting us here safely, and providing a smooth trip to Japan.  Now, we trust in Him to help us get settled and moving on with daily life!
