At 2:50 sharp we put Anna on the bus for Terminal 3 of Haneda Airport in Tokyo. As we stood waiting on the bus, I heard clear English and struck up a conversation with a young man from San Bernadino, CA who moved to his native country of Japan to teach English, just like David.
Anna’s return trip was stressful. Her bus encountered heavy traffic, which was built into the schedule, but Anna had no way to know that. Her plane was late taking off and her layover in Seattle for clearing customs was only a little under 2 hours. Her checked bag never appeared, but she, along with about 10 others were allowed to board their Denver flight despite the doors being already closed. In Denver she made a long walk to her BHM gate, but was able to grab some food, which she needed.
Bre and I and David’s family returned to Kakegawa, and the girls mourned the loss of Anna to return home. We did too!
