We made it to Yokosuka

Leaving San Diego was emotional to say the least. Saying goodbye to family & friends is never an easy thing to do; it's like a rollercoaster ride of emotions. We're really sad to be leaving them but at the same time excited to begin this new opportunity. But life keeps moving forward so watch out Yokosuka, The Matsunaga's are moving in.

Bern and I arrived safely in Narita airport on Monday, March 10 at 5pm local time. After going through customs, we met with our sponsor Lizzy (Bern's co-worker) who took us on the bus headed toward Yokosuka which was about a two hour drive. We are staying at the Navy Lodge which is basically a hotel until all of our house goods arrive. The next day while Bern went to work, I decided to walk around the military base and explore. During my journey, I found a used car lot where I think I may have spotted something I can take back home to SD...a Nissan Skyline R32.  YES!!! I also found the essentials like the commissary, exchange, movie theater, food court, and a travel agency that organizes all sorts of excursions in and around Japan.. I won't have the chance to explore outside the base until I get my military ID, which I think will happen next week during our welcome orientation. Stay tuned
