Japan Airlines's first flight flew on October 25, 1951 from Tokyo to Fukuoka. That was the birth of Japan Airlines. It was operated by Northwest Airlines.

I went to the Buddhist Temple "Katsuoji" to toady. This temple is famous for few things but the it is most famous for Japanese maple leaves turning red in. I guess I went too early to be see that.

Arrived in Japan

After 10 hours of Japan Airlines flight to Japan and additional 1 hour domestic flight, I arrived at the destination. I was really tired and slept for 10 hours. The 767 JAL uses for Vancouver - Narita flight is little old. I wish they would upgrade it.

Cheap Ticket to Japan

This is not much more than the cost of flying between Seattle and L.A.
I wonder what Tax and Fuel Surcharges are.

Children and teachers have left Seattle today and they are on their way back to Tohoku. They will be flying for 11 hours and staying one night in Tokyo before they get on the train to go back.

When I hear they arrived at their home, I think our responsibilities are over. And they I can talk about how much fun it was to have them here for 13 days.

Memories in Memory Card

8月

7日

8 children and 2 teachers from Tohoku are spending last full day in Seattle. They are invited to Boeing in Everett and Microsoft Xbox team in Redmond. We have taken pictures from everywhere they went and posted on secure web for their relatives to see. But we have way more picture than what we have made available online.

So, it is my job to gather all the pictures and copy them to SC Cards.

Why SD Card?

Some family may not have PC to watch if we burn them on CD or DVD. To avoid that, we have given everyone a Digital Photo Frame that can read SD. So they can watch all the pictures.

Back in Seattle

11日

I arrived back in Seattle this morning. Something amazing happened. I arrived and went through a passport control (Immigration) and went down to baggage claim area where I usually have to wait long time. But today my back came out within few minutes. That is the record at SEA-TAC.
