Claira Ermis replied to TM's discussion Can I Bring My Spices?"Our movers in Corpus Christi, TX packed our spices and put them in our big shipment. Before we left the States, we were also TAD for 5 months in North Carolina, where I accrued more spices. The second set of movers for our express shipment also…"
BrentHeidiB. replied to BrentHeidiB.'s discussion Anyone with experience flying Delta to Haneda than ANA to Naha with a dog?"Ha ha, wow, just called Delta Pet Reservation to confirm and they said SATO does not know what they are talking about! All dogs because of Delta's new policy has to fly Cargo and not excessive baggage meaning that we would have to leave…"
Essie P replied to BrentHeidiB.'s discussion Anyone with experience flying Delta to Haneda than ANA to Naha with a dog?"Anne, you brought up a good point about taking shuttle between Narita and Haneda, I am glad this will not apply to you Heidi.
When you land in Okinawa, they should have your pet waiting for you by the luggage claims. What lodging facility are…"
Claira Ermis replied to Keith Walker's discussion Patriot Express Flight"Hi,
Yes, I believe they only fly on Thursdays to Japan.
Hope you have a safe trip :)

BrentHeidiB. replied to Keith Walker's discussion Patriot Express Flight"Claira,
Does the Patriot Express fly on Thursdays only to Okinawa? Looks like we will be flying commercial but would have been nice to do this flight."
BrentHeidiB. replied to BrentHeidiB.'s discussion Anyone with experience flying Delta to Haneda than ANA to Naha with a dog?" Yes, we fly into Haneda via Delta and fly out of Haneda with ANA.....my concern is checking in the dog with ANA/luggage/customs etc.....but sounds like this can be done!
I have a followon question, when you land in Okinawa did you have…"

Thank you for the link to Haneda Airport, great idea ( why didn't I think of that!). Sounds like it is a go now. We were just concerned that the dog had to be shipped via cargo and picked up at a location outside…"
TM posted a discussionCan I Bring My Spices?
When I look at my drawer of spices, I shudder to think how much money I'm loosing by leaving them behind. I know I can't send food, but do spices count? What about in my luggage on the flight? Any ideas?See More
TM added a discussion to the group I Think I'm Learning Japanese
Kanji and kana combined?
I'm sorry if I'm posting this all over the place. I'm not quite sure how the "group" thing works. I asked this question the other day, but now I can't find it, so, I guess I'll ask again.I am learning as much Japanese as I can before coming to Oki in the fall, and have a question I can't google my way through.Are some words made up of both kanji and kana? Are those called compounds? How am I supposed to tell where one ends and another begins? Thanks. :)See More
Anne Gregory replied to BrentHeidiB.'s discussion Anyone with experience flying Delta to Haneda than ANA to Naha with a dog?"Just to double check...you come into Haneda and fly out of Haneda? Or does your ANA flight to Oki go out of Narita? If you have to take the transfer bus from Haneda to Narita then 3 hours is not enough.
If the flight is out of Haneda,…"

Hello All! We're into that PCS season, Hooray!! I'm running into to conflicting information as far as PCSing with our dog. I've seen lots of airlines state in their policy that there is a pet embargo between 5/15 and 9/15 roughly. However, I've also…Continue

PCS 2012: The First Weekend
Touchdown, Okinawa!

First Impressions
After a long journey, literally 36 hours of traveling, the only thing on my head is to take a shower and be on my PJs and sleep (tired, very tired). While we…

Jobs
Hello,
My name is LeRoyce. My husband and I will be arriving in Okinawa early June. I was wondering if anyone knew of any social work or social services jobs that may available.
