Homeward Bound (11/11)

Today we head home. And what a LONG journey it was. We left Hakone at 9:50 am by train bound for Tokyo’s Skinjuki station. Short break – time enough for a Starbucks run! – then on to Narita Airport on another 90 minute train ride. We had 2 ½ hours to eat lunch, buy last minute items, and check in before our flight.

The flight back was thankfully only 9 hours since it was turbulent most of the way. By the time we got into LAX, I was exhausted and motion sick because I forgot to take my Bonine pill. 2 ½ hours later, we were on the last leg of the journey flying from LAX to San Jose Airport. Kit picked us up and took us home.

The thing that kept me going the whole day (and night) was seeing Cody. It was so wonderful to see him and his tailing wagging as we walked in the door to hug him. “Cody, I’m home!”

And thus endth my journey to Nippon (Japan). It was a great trip – lots of good sites and adventures, interesting exposure to another culture and country, good times with Dennis, and happiness at coming home!

Well Kathleen, I guess your blog is done with all the photos and such that Dennis did. Actually, it looks pretty and it appears that you had a great time. No doubt, you probably feel "seen that, done that" mode regarding Japan for a while. I would like to say that I did enjoyed reading your blogs and the photos that went with it.
