On the day we left Tokyo there were heavy skies all morning. Just as the bus pulled away from the hotel it began to rain. By the time we got to the airport there was a deluge. Then just moments before boarding I looked out at the plane and saw this huge lovely pink cloud with the moon in it. It felt like a blessing and I think it was. Bambi and I had two seats beside an unoccupied seat so we could stretch out our legs and pile our stuff on it so it was handy. That made the flight home so much more pleasant.

It is good to be back!
