i've been here for a week!
i arrived tuesday evening after uneventful (thankfully) flights.
thank you, cheryl, for the ride to the airport
there were no lines checking in or going through security.
i was a little concerned that i might not have enough time, between flights, to get through customs and get to the domestic terminal at haneda airport in tokyo.
i usually fly into narita airport, so i know which way to head when i clear customs...
although i am not familiar with haneda, it was very easy.. i was able to recheck my bag (as well as one of my carry ons), so i only had my backpack, before boarding a shuttle bus to the domestic terminal..
the nice thing about short layovers, (if you don't worry so much about missing your flight) is that boarding starts almost immediately when you get to your gate!
ray still had one day of school before his summer break started, leo was at daycare, so i had wednesday to myself to unpack and store my stuff...
radio taiso started on thursday.. ray and i walk down to the community center, at 6:30 a.m., monday through friday (weather permitting), for a 10ish minute exercise program.. leo says he wants to come to, but he has been too sleepy so far. ( he is not going to daycare while i am visiting :-) )
monday everyone was asleep, except me, and i wasn't going to go by myself!! yesterday it rained.. we were back to it this morning, though

ray, frustrated because he cannot do a pullover ( yet;-) )
