So we arrived in Okinawa around 8:30 Friday night. It was quite a long three days of travel. All of our 8 bags made it as well as our three carry ons, stroller and carseat. Our sponsor KP picked us up and took us to the temporary living facility. We got there around 10:00 pm. The TLF is great! It's a one bedroom with a full kitchen and living room. KP and his wife were so nice to stock it with some sandwich stuff, fruit and waters. There is a nice big comfy bed with a down comforter. There are two flat screen TVs. We will stay here probably about 21 or so days until we find housing. We can extend that if we need to. KP is going to take us to the BX/Commissary today so that we can get phones and some groceries. With the phone plan it's looking like we probably won't be able to text (unless I find an app) or it will cost us a lot per a text. They also said incoming calls would be free. So maybe check with your phone plans about international calls. We will get you the numbers as soon as we get them.
The weather is pretty nice so far. It was really windy today and probably about 70 degrees. We haven't gone off base yet. We all went down for nap around 4:00 pm and slept hard. We all woke up at 1:00 am and have been wide awake since then.
I got really busy and forgot to do Caden's 9 month pictures and update. Oops! I'll post some pics of him. He got a slow start with eating table food. By now he's getting pretty good at it. I will do a 10 month update this week. We have had tons of new developments!
