- Facebook Post - Ready to ride the ferry to Osaka. ANOTHER REALLY CRAZY NIGHT. We spent last night sleeping on bare tatami with no blankets and pillows ahead of our move from the island. Very strong thunderstorms and torrential rains continued throughout the night. Now outside on the ferry getting close to Kagoshima. A very cool international traveler. Ready to leave this beautiful island aboard the cargo ferry en route to Kagoshima. And our friends from up north came. And more neighbors came. And our very nice friends from across the street. And Shai was happy sensei came. A neighbor came to see us off today.

- Facebook Post - NOW WITH FAMILY AGAIN - We are once again in Nara with family for a few days before returning to America. Tonight the menu is sukiyaki and tons of alcohol. lol. Us outside on the ferry today. Us at another buffet on the ferry today. Now waiting for the breakfast buffet and very windy today. Hanging out last night in our room again. And outside on the ferry with a bit of beer on a warm night. And the delicious buffet last night. Us outside on the ferry. We watched a beautiful sunset from the ferry last night.

- Facebook Post - LESS THAN FOUR DAYS - We are going to leave Japan in less than four days. Pretty sad. This is an incredible place with incredible people. The nice thing is Japan will still be there after we return to America. If things do not work out there we can always return. PET QUARANTINE FUN TODAY - We drove a total of 6 hours through the city today to get the dog and cat inspected for only a couple of minutes at the quarantine place before traveling. An inspection which is NOT required for travel to America. Crazy.

- Facebook Post - The family took us out to a really nice restaurant tonight. Thank you very much. Question....What is the best thing about the hot and humid Summer days of Japan?........BEER. TROPICAL STORM IS COMING - Yup we are going to get a tropical storm today. Should be fun with a lot of wind and rain. Gonna be finished before we leave this week. Yeah.
