I know that February is the shortest month of the year but, it seems to be lasting forever. With the excitment of finding out where we're going at the beginning of the month, it just doesn't seem like June can come soon enough. Wayne started the paperwork this week for our move and to request seats for all of us on the plane (he was even having to measure and weigh the animals and their pet taxis).
Another reason why February seems like a long month is that now all Americans have been restricted to staying on military installations (meaning we can't go do anything in town). If you follow the news, you've probably heard that several military members in Okinawa have gotten into trouble for misconduct. So much so that the Japanese Prime Minister will be meeting with Condoleeza Rice when she arrives in Okinawa next week. So for the time being, we'll all just have to come up with new things to do at home. So during this time of "reflection" as it's being called, I've been remembering all the great things that we've done and seen in Okinawa and Japan for the past 6 years. So I thought during our last 3 months here I would re-share some of those pictures with you.
During our first winter here, Wayne & I went on a whale watching tour. We were on a small boat chasing whales around all day and pretty much all we saw were their tails and blow holes...

Sorry you're cnfined to quarters. Somebody always has to make it bad for the rest. Didn't know you went whale watching. Grandma and I are leaving for Hawaii 3/4/08 and hope to see whales, hope we have better luck than you did. I was interested in your trip to the states and NAS Coranado. I was stationed there in the mid 50's. Flew Martin P5M flying boats from there to the Phlipines and the Formosa Straights. Love Grandpa & Grandma J
