Let the adventure begin! We left on Monday at 12:05pm from the Dallas Airport, and made it into Tokyo at 4:35pm Tuesday...with this flight, you basically miss a day, and your poor body doesn't know what to do with itself. We flew American, Business class, and it was wonderful. The kids LOVED it- Maya compared it to a Hotel in the air. :) The girls were both fantastic- not a tear, not a fit...they each slept a good amount, and spent the rest of their time eating and watching TV/Movies. 13 hours went a lot faster than I thought it would with two young girls. The two hour van ride to the hotel was great too- the girls and I slept the entire time, so it was really quick. We are staying at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo, but leaving today (and I say today, because I am writing this at 4:50am, and have been up with the kids since about 2am!) at 9am for our apartment in Yoyogi-Uehara.
Our rental furniture is supposed to be at our apartment when we get there, so that will be nice..and hopefully our air shipment will be there before the middle of next week.
So far, so good. Maya has been in awe since we arrived at the airport. In Japan, a lot of people wear masks- when they are sick, so they don't spread it, when sickness is going around so they don't get it (H1N1 for example) and for allergies...so she was asking last night why they wear masks and where she can get some (she doesn't want to wear a swim cap for school P.E., but apparently a mask is ok!). She also asked why we were the only people with blond hair- a very obvious thing, but didn't know she would pick up on that so quickly! Hanna on the other hand, is just enjoying saying "JAPAN" really loud every where we go!
