Getting There

Yes! We did get our bags closed, with the addition of one more bag.

We didn't have to pay overweight until we made the last part of our trip -

which was IN Indonesia, when we flew from one island to another..

 To get to Indonesia, we went through Japan, and spent the night in Tokyo.

.

We spent the night with Micah and Allison Beck in Dallas.

Micah was raised in Indonesia at the same time our 3 kids were raised there, so our families are longtime friends. Micah  took us to the airport early the next morning, and will keep our car for the month, and then pick us up at the airport when we return in mid-August.

In the airport, ready to board our plane.

We stayed in a hotel near the airport in Tokyo instead of waiting out  the 11 hours

inside the airport. Here Johnny is wearing his kimono and sipping tea,

Japanese style.

It was good to see the beautiful rice fields of Asia, once again.

This photo was taken out our hotel window.

After baths and sleep, we were ready for the last 11 hours of our trip.
