Chad and I are hunkered down in Starbucks at the local mall using the free wireless like it's a puddle in the desert. Good news is we are told we could have Internet at our house in a week or two. I have lots to write about after two days here! It's very different and I'm having a harder time adjusting than I thought I would. The jetlag is pretty bad for starters. Right now it's just one day at a time! Tomorrow we go to register at the local city hall and meet our new Japanese teacher. Tuesday we go into Tokyo to the American embassy and then Wednesday Chad starts work.
I'll post again as soon as possible, everyone send fast Internet thoughts our way!!

Internet Woes
So Chad has started trying to get our Internet access set up in Japan and he got some bad news. Apparently it could take months for us to get it. They are backed up because of the tsunami damage. (For the record, lack of Internet bothers us WAY more than radiation exposure.) So....this could be my last blog post for awhile. I will post as soon as I can after we get there - please check back!

Latest News
We are currently in a nice, new apartment for a couple of weeks. The relocation people seem to have thought of everything: dishes, linens, washer/dryer etc. are all here. Moving out of our house took two days and since people did it for us, we spent the time lazing around on our front porch. Not a bad deal. I decided to wait and talk about what we shipped/left here when I unpack in Japan. We pretty much guessed as to what to ship so we'll see how well we did when we get there.
We leave on Thursday, May 5th, early in the morning and are going through San Francisco to Tokyo. We found out that several people will meet us there to help us with various things (thank goodness) AND we found someone here in Greenville who lived in our house in Japan. He told us a few things about our new house including that we'll have rice paddys all around! So expect many rice paddy photos to come....
