We made it, and by saying that, I mean that our plane landed in Narita, Japan yesterday and today Jessica is in her new home at ICU. Everything else is a hot, sweaty blur of trains, buses and too much luggage. We were saved by an angel however; our Japanese exchange student Sumika took us from the busiest terminal in Tokyo to our final destination -ICU.
Jessica's dorm room is very nice and her room-mate seems like a winner. The campus is larger than we expected and the grounds look great when the sweat wasn't blurring my vision. I guess even for Tokyo standards it's unusually hot right now.
Our first impressions of Tokyo is that it's enormous and it makes Seattle look like a country town in comparison. Cari and I already got lost once on our way to find our remote city studio guest room that has a shared bathroom one might expect to find in place that charges half the going Tokyo rates. I sure am glad Cari sticks with me.
More later. Right now we are going to find something cold to drink and then sit under some air-conditioning for awhile.

Glad she's in a good place. Blessings and all the very best to Jessica
