Our Long Adventure

So Vann and I spent the night in Seattle so that we could take our time in the morning before our flight. Vann had a blast, he jumped on the bed, took a bath in our jetted tub, which he is afraid of the jets. His favorite thing to do was play in the drawers of the dresser.



The next morning we got up and went and had breakfast. We had to be to the airport around 11:00 because our flight wasn't until 1:00. By the way Tony had no idea that we were coming so it was going to be a surprise. We got to the airport and made it through security with about an hour to spare. As we were waiting to board the plane I decided that I was going to go ask the counter if there were going to be any empty seats on the plain. The guy was very nice and said that there was and moved my seat from an aisle seat in the middle of the plane to a window seat with an empty aisle seat next to me. What a life saver that was. I cant even imagine not having an extra seat for Vann. So we got on the plain and Vann was having a lot of fun looking out the window at all the other plains taking off. It was time for us to take off and I was scared at how Vann was going to react but to my surprise he did great. He just looked out the window and pointed at things on the ground. The entire plane ride went great considering it was a 10 1/2 hour flight. Vann made friends with just about everyone on the flight. There were some people from Korea seating across from us and Vann kept going over to visit them. He sat in there laps and got his picture taken alot with them. He was loving it. Here are some pictures from us on the



I was so relieved to get to Japan but I had no idea how hard it would be to take the train. I took one train to some town just before Tokyo and then had to get off and go catch another train. I was so exhausted I just wanted to get to Yokosuka. I ended up getting on the first class section of the train but I didn't care i asked the lady how much extra it would be to stay and it was a bout $10.00. I was not going to move Vann was asleep and I just wanted my trip to be over. I was so thankful to see the sign at the train station that said Yokosuka. This is Vann waiting for the train. So I arrived at the hotel around 9:15pm which would have been 4:15am Seattle time. I knew that Tony didn't get off work until eleven so I decided to lay down for a little bit since Vann was already sleeping. There is only one key to the rooms and you leave it with the front desk when you leave. The front desk knew I was going to surprise Tony. I had planned to go down to the lobby around 11:00 to wait for Tony to get there but I got a call in the room around 10:45 and it was the front desk. They told me that Tony was down there and wanted his key. She asked me what I wanted her to tell him. I had to think fast so I told her to tell him that they missed placed his key and I would be right down. I hurried and grabbed Vann and took the elevator down. The elevator opens right up to the front desk . So when the door opened I walked out and said, "excuse me did you loose your key?" Tony's jaw dropped and he said, "what are you doing hear?" We were all excited to see one another except for Vann he just wanted to go back to sleep. By 3:00 in the morning Vann was awake and ready for Tony to play with him. Poor Tony fell asleep at 3:00 and had to get up at 4:00 because Vann was ready for him to get up. Here is Vann being silly.So yesterday we went to lunch with a bunch of people that Tony works with. It was a great restaurant we were on the 9th floor which was the top. He had a great view here are a couple of pictures of the view.
