audette - where in Japan? DD1 is in Misawa with GS2 and GD3 (oh, and her hubs, of course.) @g22 - Your furries are adorable. Madigan? XH used to get his care there when he was first disabled; I used to go there all.the.time to watch the planes launch. It was so relaxing for me. Good luck and hope you have a 2 legged baby soon to join the four-legged ones.
Oh, it was more of a "if we do a get together, we should see if there are other folks around here to include" type thing... There are two of us here in Korea, and we still haven't managed to meet up.
Maybe soon. I think I need to make my way down to near where she is so I can go shopping. The PX up here sucks.
