June 15 ... still!

OK, so we left the Tokyo airport at 21:30 (over 1.5 hours later than scheduled because of some potential hydraulic system problems) on June 15, and here we are arriving in Seattle at about 14:00 ... on June 15! Wow, it sure didn't feel like I had just gained 7 and a half hours!

Here is proof that I am in Seattle!
When I left Japan, the last person I saw that I knew was Yuri and the 1st people I saw that I knew when I arrived in Surrey was Conrad & Debbie - the homestay 'parents' of Yuri when she was here last year! So there are some more pictures I wish I had taken ... oh well, I think I had enough to choose from in the over 1700 pictures plus videos that I had taken on this trip! What an experience!

Thank you to all of you who have joined me on this trip ... yes, it was finished on June 15th, but even though the dates I posted were close to the time the events actually happened, the truth be told ... I am finally finishing them on 4 Aug ... 7 weeks after I arrived home from this 7 week trip! I don't know if that means anything, other than the fact that now I will start posting the events that have happened since my return in 'real time.'

And I encourage you to post some comments to this blog. Just don't ball me out for taking so long to complete it! ;)
