The End-- back to Hamamatsu Living

The trip finally drew to a close. We woke up super early on the final day to say adieu to Carrie who had to get up early for a meeting. Sadly- we couldn't spend much time with her on the day before-- so we definitely wanted to say see her and thank her for putting us up.

We packed up and were out the door before 9. We stopped by Scott's company and said goodbye, returned the car and got dropped off at the airport. Had our final meal and were airborne. Ken was pretty good this go-round. We gave up on the bassinet this time as he wouldn't settle on the way to Vancouver. We held him throughout the flight, then carried him on the train to Tokyo, the Shinkansen, the Aka Den and then took a cab home. Needless to say we were pretty tired.

Please forgive me for having dragged out the tail of my trip for so long. But the holidays are so therapeutic and it is great for me to keep a solid memory of the times we had with all our good friends. If anyone back home reads this- thanks so much for everything- everyone's hospitality and company were greatly appreciated! I look forward to the next excursion- maybe after we have the next baby...?
