Today we went to the Americafest on the flight line, along with most of the Japanese residents of OKI and the US Military! LOTS of people, LOTS of food, and LOTS of beer!!! We weren't there very long as you would know Darrin started chewing his fingernails and we knew it was time to go, but we did catch a couple of Melinda Doolittle (AI season 6) songs and Hay went on a few rides. For the fireworks we met up with the Parkin's and the Wolfley's for one last firework show with the best seats in town!! Thanks so much Katie and Dustin for sharing it with us one last time!!

Happy "SHI" of JULY!!!!!

Well we were hoping and praying that we would be stateside this year at this time.........but you know how things roll......we will be spending another 4th of JULY here on the island!! We are headed to the flight line today and hopefully to the beach tomorrow for a little snorkeling and sunbathing!! We are wishing you all a Happy and safe 4th of July and we will hopefully be home for Thanksgiving to spend it will you all!!!

Domo Arigato....Sayonara....

Well today is kind of a tearful day for us, it was the day we have been dreading for along while. Today was the day to JUNK the Mystery Machine!!! That mystery machine has become part of us, it made 3 important trips to Naha, and many trips up the narrow roads of OKI. Let alone getting Darrin to work everyday. If there was a way we could ship that baby home he'd be all Hunters next year!!! I wanted to share the last trip down the road to the bone yard of the disposable vehicles!! Domo and Sayonara MYSTERY VAN you did us well!!
