Time Warp

We left Kyoto at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday and landed in San Francisco on Thursday at 9:30 a.m.! Sort of a Thursday that never ends.

We did the entire trip on public transportation. Walked to the bus in Kyoto (I love bus #9) then took the train to Osaka airport. Plane to San Francisco, plane to Seattle, light rail to downtown, the Sounder train to Mukilteo, Ferry to the Island, bus to the stop near our street, walked to our house!

I wish I could figure out a way to go without any luggage but we've gotten it down to two carry-on rolling bags and two back packs and a small duffel. Not bad for a month away.

Re-entry feels like we've walked through some time warp door into another world. Comfortable on both sides - but they are two very very different places.

Back to Langley Life!
