Watching Japan

So it is crazy enough to be on this side of the world during this disaster. We watch every night and morning while we eat to see the updates of the crisis in Japan. One of our concerns that is personal is the fact that in just a few short days we are flying into tokyo. As of this morning Delta is allowing people to change flights up til the 15th. Our flight is on the 17th so for now it looks like they estimate that we will still be able to fly into and out of tokyo. There are over 20,000 people stranded in the two japan airports as of now. we are going to keep looking each day to hear if delta will be bumping up the dates of change or if it will be ok for us to fly there. Our hearts go out to the people of japan and our thanks to those who are aiding the relief work. As we fight the heat we hope to continue to see more here before its all said and done. And on some level i think the stress of coming back to the states is sneaking up on us. Its going to be a hard transition back to bills, jobs (or lack there of), and finding our grooves again. For me the next step is still unclear and i can tell that my dreams and subconcicous are bubbling my curiousity to the surface. I guess all i can do is enjoy the last few days we have here, and keep the mindset that things will fall into place when i come home. Transitions are always difficult, but a strong life lesson.

  2. from what i see from here, it sure sounds like you should avoid japan, altogether. can you not fly through a european city instead?
