Well I'm here in Japan. Sorry it took me so long to let you guys know. Been busy busy. Let me give you the run down.
We got on the plane Tuesday the 10th around 1030 and left. It was a ginormous plane to which I had my own row. We flew up to Anchorage, Alaska to re-fuel. We got to get off the plane too for about a hour. There was a bar in that concourse and they actually let us drink...in our uniform! I was surprised about that. Then again its not like we were going to get hammered or anything. So we got back on the plane and about 8 1/2 hours later we land in Japan. We get off the plane and are bused to our hanger where we go through "customs". Drug dog sniffs our luggage, and they look through our carry-ons. We then get bused to our barracks and get checked in. Compared to most barracks I've been in this one is pretty crappy, but my room is nice. I have my own room and the floor has 2 community bathrooms. Not too shabby. I also bought a 13" TV from the marines leaving in the barracks next to us for 10 bucks and a surround sound computer speakers for 25 that plugs into my ipod. By the way I paid off my best buy credit card and then bought an ipod with it. I'm awesome.... Anyways after I got all checked in and changed a few of us went out to the exchange to get some supplies. We then came back and went to bed. The past few days have been easy cause we have no jets, so its just been indoc stuff and unpacking our tools and whatnot. Haven't been out in town yet, but might today (Sunday) if I can get a hold of my liberty card. Me and a couple of guys are going to this bridge and a castle. Time to get some awesome pictures. I'll probably call you guys here soon. My buddy has a phone in his room and long distance is only 4 cents a minute. Well I'm going to say goodbye for now. Love you all and hope to talk to you soon.

Glad to hear that you made it there OK. Can't wait to see pictures and hear more about Japan!
Love you, Ann
Yay for being in Japan! I like that you used ginormous in a sentence and that you can't drink in your uniform like I can't drink in my sorority letters. All of that = funny. And iPods are the greatest things ever and I think yours is justified because there was no other feasible way to get all that to Japan. So good job.
You're in Japan. That's weird, and totally awesome. Have a great time and bring back Theo something good.
WOW! You're in Japan. Sounds like this is going to be fun in between work, that is good. Hard to believe that is is nearly tomorrow where you are while it is yesterday here, well to you but to me today. But, by the time you get to tomorrow, that is two days from now for me so I miss tomorrow amd when you come home, you will get here yesterday if you leave today. But, if you leave tomorrow, do you get here two days ago? Time flies when you are having fun. Are we having fun yet?
Time is merely a human devised measurement. Kinda of like inches around our waists. It's fine. Adam will get here when he gets here. "i'm just sayin'."
yes it is confusing on the whole time change bit. would of called you all sooner, but every time i think to call you or even buy a phone card it is in the middle of the night there. i.e. right now it is nearly 7 pm on thursday. trippy huh? and andrea do you want me to get theo a toy that talks in japanese, cuz that is what i was thinking for one of the things, let me know what you think.
if you want to. that sounds pretty fun.
Hope you're having fun. Bring me back FFVII: Advent Children! But only if it has English subtitles. Dude, I had to BUY a ringtone the other day. How lame is that? You need to get back so I can use you some more. Call me.
