stopping to eat lunch in an unknown location after getting lost in Kate's neighborhood |
We are enjoying Asia and in lots of ways it just feels like
coming home to something familiar. No
culture shock. No worrying about getting
lost (been there and done that…we always manage to find our way). And no frustration about the language
barrier/lack of English (you just learn to go with the flow).
Honestly, the most anxiety we have had so far was still in
America when I (Teresa) stupidly walked through a gate at the seattle airport,
cutting me off from Jesse and our connecting flight to Tokyo. Forget about the guard standing by the gate
or all the “do not enter/ exit” signs. Nooo,
why would I pay any attention to those? I
was too concerned about finding the snack bar!
I am sure I looked pretty silly jumping up and down, waving my arms and
trying to yell through the sound proof glass to let me husband know I had made
a terrible mistake and couldn’t get back through. I pleaded with the guard a little but to no
avail I still needed to restart the process of checking into the airport, and
going through all of security.
Thankfully the line wasn’t terrible long and we still had a good hour
before boarding time, so all was well and we even made it to the united club in
time to grab some snacks for the 10 hr. flight.
So far so good! I am
feeling better (got sick Saturday morning).
Jesse has not gotten sick (phew!)
And it has been great catching up with the wonderful Kate
Staples. We are all 3 looking forward to
continuing our adventures in Asia over the next few weeks J
