We Finally Made It!!!!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know has been going on. We have finally made it to Yokosuka, Japan.

After a gruelling 10.5 hour nonstop flight aboard a AMC flight, we landed at Yokota Air Forces Base, which a just southwest of downtown Tokoyo. Our sponsor was graciously waiting there to pick us up so we wouldn't have to ride the bus for two and half hours down to Yokosuka.

It was pretty interesting seeing nothing but nonstop city thought the ride.

We are now in the Navy Lodge on CFAY (Combined Fleet Activities, Yokosuka). It's a four story tower right on the bay. (You really couldn't be further from anything on the base.)

The view hasn't been all that great either because of the rain and haze that has been in the air. Evidently we have arrived here during the rainy season. It is hot and muggy and all and all reminds me of Louisiana. (Not quite as hot though.)

I'll post some pictures once we have some.
