A Note from Fukuoka, Japan

Hello, hello!

Sorry I took so long to write. Was hard to get an Internet connection in the hotel. Am finally at the apartment that we'll be staying for the next few years. It's quite nice but because there's a high ceiling, the place is very cold. Spring is supposed to be on its way but to warm-blooded me, it feels like the dead of winter. I'm freezing and I just pray that the temperature will get alot warmer before the boys come over.

Fukuoka is a rather nice place and certainly very liveable. The shopping's wonderful and I had to keep a tight rein on my wallet. The people are friendly although not many speak English. I'm trying to call play schools for Joseph but it's really hard to communicate when both parties speak a differenct language and there isn't the luxury of sign language.

I want to say a big 'THANK YOU' to those I had the pleasure of meeting up with in the last two weeks. I'm very touched by all your good wishes and I hope we'll be able to keep in touch one way or the other.

Have to go back to unpacking and cleaning. Will try to write again soon. Meanwhile, God bless and take care.
