As usual we are starting to think way ahead and getting our plane tickets to America organized for this Christmas. The details are still being negotiated, but I think we found a flight that we’d like to take. We’re excited about the trip, since it will be our first chance to meet Charlie, and also the first time for Kuniko’s folks and Kuniko’s sister to visit California.
We’re also watching closely the situation in Istanbul. Apparently things are still pretty lively there, but short of a revolution I think we’re still on for our trip. Like Kuniko said, “Wouldn’t that be a great way to die?” Better than dying in bed wearing adult bladder control diapers, I guess.
For the last few days we’ve been worried about an incoming typhoon, called “Yagi” that was due to hit the main part of Japan on Friday. Luckily today it kind of fizzled out over the ocean, and that means that our plans for the weekend can proceed without interruption or cancellation. Woo-hoo!
