We rode space-a to Dover last friday where mom and dad picked us up. So we spent just over a week in PA visiting family and surprising folks. It was a relaxing time and nice to see the states after nearly 2 years. The shopping overwhelmed me at first, with so much stuff in every […]
Read MoreThis morning I woke up between two kids. Bryan flew late and so they like sleep with me when he won’t be home until we are all sleeping. I had spent some time yesterday searching for and pondering spending some big bucks to go see Bethany in Germany. It’s been so long since we have […]
Read MoreSleeping at the terminal worked out great. In fact, if we hadn’t been there I never would have known about the flight we caught and we would be stuck in Hawaii for a while longer! Thanks to Zoe!!! She talked me into it. At 0445 I heard the ping of the loud speaker announcing a […]
Read MoreThe kids slept great at the Hale Koa… I was restless though anticipating the early email from our virtual roll call. It never came! The flight didn’t take any pax. Both it and the second one to guam disappeared from the boards. We slept in and drove to Pearl Harbor for the day. The kids […]

Read MoreWe woke early Thursday to walk two blocks to the train for Paya Lebar air base. This begins our space- A journey home from vacation. Avi whined the entire way that he couldn’t walk because his feet hurt from “walking around the world”. Time to go home! He calmed down in the taxi the last bit […]
Read MoreWe got on the Singapore flight from Yokota this morning! Not a lot of competition – there were some empty seats of the 42 available. The flight is amazing with flight attendents and lots of food! They even give everyone a little media player with movies and games. I did insist on some schoolwork before […]
Read MoreVerified: the Shinkansen is fast. Got to check that off the bucket list today. Rode the Japanese bullet train from Misawa to Tokyo. Mostly we snacked and napped and Zoe read “Ivy and bean” on kindle. It really didn’t feel super fast, which is nice. Not creepy; but we did a 10-11 hour drive in […]
Read MoreWe woke early to find a big rainstorm had taken over Korea. It’s a good day to get out! Except that there wasn’t a taxi in site to take us to the passenge terminal. I called for 45 minutes before biting the bullet and driving into base, parking in the deck and walking to the […]
