Off to Japan for Andy, Iori, and Sakurako!

 August 28, 2023

That day has arrived and after a bit of breakfast we pile into the car for the trip to Jackson-Hartsfield Airport.  Everyone agreed that it was a wonderful visit and that next year will be even better!  Iori paused at the door for one last smile and wave!

Words to live by!

The kids decided to wheel the luggage without being asked.

Home again for lunch and to begin getting ready for the next adventure.  With the hurricane coming to Tampa, there are preparations to be made via long distance and then Jan tells us TPA is closed tomorrow morning.  She won't be able to fly out!

Much thought and discussion results in her flying out tonight and spending the night up here with us!  We'll pick her up at 10:35 p.m.  We'll all be flying down together in the morning!  Cool!!

Elizabeth and David come over so I get one more David experience.  He is learning to say "please" before he can have a chip, his favorite food.  And Ginger finally has a moment to do her packing and organize for her stint at "person in charge" for our tour!

Later tonight we'll pick Jan up at the airport and settle in for as much sleep as we can get before leaving at 7:30 tomorrow morning!
