Roundtrip from Naha to Narita shouldn't be more than 400,- depending on fuel charge. Don't go online try HIS or IACE, Kadena ITT or Omega Travel.

I am pretty sure that in order to be able to work off base you need a work permit from Japanese immigration.

The island is great: get ready for some heat and humidity, great beaches, and very friendly people. If you like to explore you will love this tour. We sure did! I don't think you have an option of living off base as of right now. It might change by…

If I understand this right your hubby is stationed in Korea, therefore orders should be coming from there. I would take it up the chain to get the orders, then you can schedule TMO. Make sure you have a POA.

It just depends on your packers. We shipped our spices, light bulbs, batteries and a few canned goods too.

Yes! We think so. But you can also wrap them up and box them in small boxes yourself to kinda hide it They don't unwrap things to check them out before they pack stuff.

30 days until my PCS from Okinawa

So, here I am at the point I have read so much about.
I am about to leave this island. I have thought about this point in my life a lot; and .....I am happy.
I am happy to go to a place where I can settle down. This island is beautiful and I love it. I have been blessed to have spent three years here, but settling down sounds really good right now.
I could buy some houseplants and watch them grow. Remembering how said house plants grew just everywhere outside on Okinawa. I could buy a house and… Continue

Work a little, work a lot, don't work at all

So,
I know this has been on all of our minds this week.
Working, having children, raising children, feeling the guilt of daycare, staying at home and feeling the guilt of "not bringing home any money".
This post is from my point of view, purely. I am not trying to judge anybody. For all purposes I am venting.
I suppose I started a family early. I was 22 when I had my first child. We were living in Germany and I was married to a German. We get 6 month of maternity leave (paid I might add) and 1 y… Continue

Here a zip line, there a zip line, zip lines everywhere!

Yes ladies,
this was the day I jumped over my own shadow and went down zip lines, trusting a harness and numerous steel cables. It was fun and I'll do it again in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately my daughter did not dare and ended up taking great pictures of all of us. My "report" has been sent to Heather and hopefully soon I can share this place with the rest of you.
As always in any Japanese enterprise this place is a well thought out, well run machine. Everything goes smoothly, help is always there… Continue

I am refusing to acknowledge my age and am now acting as foolishly as I please

After a day of mourning my long gone youth, sobbing,sleeping (see arthritis medication), and all around feeling sorry for myself I have this to say:
I am so over it!!!!!!
I did yoga all weekend and my wrist never felt better. I talked to my mom (67) that swears all doctors are stupid, and I made a reservation at "Jungle Adventures" for tomorrow. I let you all know how it went and I'll send a report to Heather.
I have a fear of heights, that I am sure, has to do with the fact that I am a total co… Continue

Broken wrist or just old age?

I am forever 25 or 30'ish, at the most. My husband is 34......in reality I am pushing 50 and he is still 34.
I do things people my age shouldn't do; like jump off sea walls in the pouring rain in flip flops. The outcome can not be good.
I got away with a very bruised palm of my right hand, a bruise and scrape on my right knee, and I could swear I broke my hip.
That was last Saturday. Sunday is for resting; i.e. doing yoga, twice. Because in my head I am fat... and that is a whole other story.
I… Continue

Ich muss mich korrigieren.
Der Markt heisst ausserdem Union.
Also, nachdem du da links gefahren bist,
links und ueber die kleine Kreuzung
und dann ist das dort links.
Weiss auch nicht, was ich dir da erzaehlt habe.
Sorry!

Hi!

Ehm, weisst du wo der Tropical Beach ist?
Wenn du aus der Richtung von der KAFB
kommst, gibt es kurz nach dem Beach
ein Markt auf der linken Seite, habe den
Namen schon wieder vergessen, der hat 24h
auf. Da rein und die naechste links und
die 2. rechts. Konditorei, Cafe. ;-)
Ist ein kleines Laib, Y260, aber gut!

Hallo Daniela!

Habe deinen Post gesehen, in "Commissary".
Bist du denn noch hier in Okinawa?
Denn hier gibt es sehr wohl einen Baecker,
der deutsches Brot und auch andere Sachen
verkauft.

Meld dich doch einfach mal bei mir!

Liebe Gruesse

Melanie
