We're in Fukuoka!

Ed and I are "recuperating" from a long day of travel from Pigeon to Saginaw to Detroit to Osaka to Fukuoka, Japan.

Our yesterday was really less than a 24 hour day, but felt like quite a bit more since we packed about a 12 hour Sunday into the day.

Our first plane ride took us from Saginaw, MI (MBS) to Detroit (DTW.) That's the usual hop that we take to get to Detroit Metro. We left Saginaw around 10:30 am on Sat., Sept. 6. By Sunday night we had arrived safely at the Hakata Excel Hotel Toku after a long flight to Osaka and another, much shorter flight to Fukuoka.

We're wading into using the Japanese yen and I'll probably write more about that soon. This morning we watched television in both English and Japanese. We saw the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners play Sunday night baseball. So the game was happening yesterday for us since we're in Japan, but the game was live in Seattle. Cool. Just have to set the brain to the 13 hour time change.

Peter and the Blast II MIX company arrive this afternoon. I've hardly slept. Can't seem to reset the sleeping clock yet. I'm sure that I'll collapse and sleep well tonight!

Photo was taken as we descended into Fukuoka with the sun setting over what we think is the Straits of Korea. Fukuoka is on the south island, Kyushu, and is very near to Korea.
