Day 1 – We Made It!
We finally made it! We’re in Okinawa safe and sound. The flight was uneventful, a little bumpy by times and very very long. We had window seats the entire trip this time so we took some awesome pics along the way…
Our longest layover was in Vancouver, we stopped at Legends and grabbed a burger and fries, fired off a couple of emails and then spent some time exploring the airport. We found a huge aquarium. You know you’re tank is too big when you have to have two scuba drivers dive in to clean it…
The fish were very cool.
Then it was time for the long flight…It seemed to take forever, but it was actually only about 10.5 hours. We landed in Narita airport.
We were worried about finding our way around this airport, but to our surprise we were met by someone who took us through the airport to find out flight because the stopover time was so short. We were never so happy to see our names on a sign. We made it through customs without a glitch and went to pick up our luggage. I chuckled to myself as I saw someones luggage busted open, and I thought oooh…that’d suck…turns out, it was our luggage. I guess we have to buy a new suitcase before we head home.
The flight to Okinawa was a bit rocky. We saw some lightening light up the sky a few times. After we landed and collected our luggage and what was left of our energy we tried to grab a cab. We stood there looking dazed and confused for a while until someone asked us where we wanted to go…after a while and with the help of about three other people we made our way to Georges Restaurant to get directions to our apartment. We met the owner here and he has been great, helping us with our Japanese, serving us some great food and just being a great guy…
Steve and Nancy met us at the Restaurant and showed us to our apartment and showed us around a little…Thanks Guys!
That’s it for our first day, catch you all later
