We are home!!!
After 4 airports, 3 planes, and 22 hours, we are back in Bloomington, Illinois. The 11 hour flight from Tokyo to Detroit was made much, much easier by two very kind flight attendants and by an underbooked plane. We selected seats at the very back of the plane to make stretch breaks easier. With few people in the back we all got at least two seats to spread out in which was tremendous! When we got off the airport, it felt like we were some famous people with a swarm of fans.
Words cannot express the emotion of seeing so many people who took time out of their busy lives to come meet us at the airport. Please know how much you all mean to us and how overwhelmed we are at the outpouring of love you showered us with.
We will post more later.
