The international flight to Japan arrived at 3:25 p.m. We arrived one hour earlier than their scheduled arrival time.
All the passengers needed to wait for a quite long for our suitcases come out in the turntable. The custom process went through simple and fast. When I finally came out from the airport, it was past 5 p.m.
From there, I needed to go through the tiresome process before arriving at my final destination.
I needed to wait in the long waiting line of limousine bus, walk to the JR station with a carrying suitcase, buy a train ticket, and climb up and down a whole bunch of stairs to the station ticketing area to the train platform. From the closest train station, I took a taxi to my parents’ house.
I arrived at their house around 7 p.m. When I entered the gate and walked through to the entrance door, my dad was there opening the entrance door for me.
My mom was sitting at the dining table chair. She apologized for not walking to the entrance. She looked very sick and exhausted.
I naturally hugged my mom and dad. They seemed to be very happy to see me again.
Before my departure, I told my mom not to worry about my dinner of my arrival day. I was planning to buy something, such as a bento box on the way to my parents’ house, but I didn’t have any opportunity to buy anything. I was exhausted anyway so that I didn’t have any appetite for dinner.
After took a bath, I had a glass of sake, and went to bed.
My pocket Wifi has arrived at my parents’ house in the morning. The setup was easy and simple. Before I fall asleep, I sent a message to my husband and daughter through LINE that I arrived safely.
It was a long tiring day. I left my house in America at 4 a.m. and I arrived at my parents’ house at 4 a.m. in Arizona time. It took me 24 hours from door to door. I truly realized how far I moved away from my parents’ house.
I am glad I arrived safely.
