We're here

We have made it to Japan! Its been a whirlwind of activity today. We arrived 2 hrs behind schedule last night. Went to hotel and got quite a bit of sleep. Got up this morning and had a very nice buffet breakfast featuring Japanese & American foods. Got picked up later by the 2 nicest relocation people you could have. We got copious instructions,from the real estate guy, on how to use all the appliances and electronic gizmos in the house. The security guy came and showed us how to work the security system. Another guy (Canadian) came to give us alot of info on how to live here ie; transportation, doctors, vets, shopping etc... Then we were taken to get our alien registration, re-entry permits and cell phones. The relo gal working with us is just fantastic. I can't imagine having to do those things on our own. We finished with all of that to find that we had a rental car in the garage and the house was full of rental furniture when we arrived back. Gilbert will be arriving sometime in the next hour or so. I can't wait. It is nearly 10pm. Everyone is in bed. I will stay awake to wait for him by trying to figure out how to work the TV, although there is a guy coming tomorrow to explain it to me. We think we are really going to like it here. The house is great. The people have all been so nice. Our first impression of Japan is, in one word-cute! From the uniforms people wear, to the lace seat covers on the cars, everything here seems to be cute. More later after Gil arrives.
