Japan Round 2

We arrived in Japan on Tuesday. I wish I could say the flight was great but I was really sick. I threw up every two hours. It was by far the most miserable experiences I have had traveling. When we arrived in Osaka I started to get sick as I was getting off the plane. They got me a wheelchair and all of the "procedures" started! Gabriela didn't know what to think seeing her Mom so sick and then riding in a wheelchair. But, as always she did great! I am so blessed to have such a great traveler. I found out that arriving in a foreign country sick is not the best impression. They wanted to quarantine me until they could find out what was wrong with me. No one spoke English well enough for me to explain I was pregnant. Finally, they got a translator and I explained I was pregnant. They had a brief meeting and agreed to let me go!! Jenny was waiting for me at the airport and was a great help. The airport staff took great care of me and wheeled me to the train station. After each train ride there was a wheel chair waiting for me. It was actually really embarrassing!
Nichy met us in Kyoto and Gabriela was so excited to see him. She ran into his arms and has not left his side. We are trying to get over jet lag. She is doing better than me. It is 2:30 in the morning and I am awake!! This weekend Nichy has games so we will get to meet all the new Shiga LakeStar wives and kids. We are happy to be reunited and trying to adjust to a slow pace life for a while!
