Home Sweet Home?

We finally made it!! We had a false start on Tuesday by missing our flight which resulted in a 24-hour penalty, but we made it to the airport on time Wednesday and then we were really on our way. The flight into Chicago was beautiful with the sun coming up right behind the city. Flying over Alaska was even more beautiful seeing the snow capped mountains. Narita airport was a tad bit confusing with all the symbols and junk that we couldn't read, but a fellow service member finally helped us find where we needed to be to catch the shuttle to Yokota. Everything is so different here and its going to take a while to adjust. Thankfully we got here on a 4-day weekend so husband doesn't have to start work until Wednesday. We plan on going exploring tomorrow so we can find our way around base. So a few weird things about this place so far...the fountain Diet Coke tastes extremely weird and there are two different options for flushing the toilet: push for a light load and pull for a large load. There will be more to come later, but for now I'm going to hit the sack for some much needed rest.
