Japan Trip

This was my first time leaving the states and my first

time to fly over 24 hours, which sucks. Thursday our 

flight got cancels because the plane was broke so we 

left Friday at 6:30pm. From there we flew to Chicago 

where the VA met us there and gave us free fruit, 

drinks, toothbrushes, gum, and cell phones. We stayed 

there about an hour then flew up to Anchorage. By 

then I felt like I was in some kinda of twilight where 

I just sat in a chair and was fed food every 3 hours.  

It is just a hazy experience. In Alaska it was maybe 

1am but it was pretty bright outside. From there we 

flew to Misawa Japan which is about 7 and 1/2 hour 

flight. We arrived at 3:38am Japan time. Customs 

and others came aboard checking for swine flu and 

other stuff.

From Japan

After that we sat in the terminal for about 4 hours until 

they finally told us the plane was broke and check back 

later. After that we just hit the base in search of food 

and Wi-Fi. Later our command got us rooms to spend 

the night, and a steak dinner. So everybody just hit the 

bowling alley, and I am not any good anymore ... Now 

we are going to go back to the airport at 10am, 01JUN09, 

to find out if we can leave yet and make it to Kadena. I 

kind of want to stay here, the more I am here the less I 

have to work there. Everybody is having fun but some 

people don't have a change of cloths, luckily I brought a 

change just in case this happened. And half of the 

websites I goto are in Japanese...
