On April 29th, 2011 we checked out of housing and 
officially became homeless. Gene and I flew out of Reno and headed to Orlando, FL to begin our month long trek to Okinawa, Japan. When we arrived at the airport we were met there by my parents, daughter, and granddaughter. We got to my parents house and I realized that my computer bag was left at the airport because I was in a wheelchair because of my knee and it was left hanging on the back of the chair. Well, I got in touch with the lost and found at the airport on Sunday May 1st and it had been turned in by the skycap that wheeled me out to the car. I picked it up on Monday and it has been a wonderful adventure since. Phillip arrived in FL on May 5th after turning things over to his replacement.
We attended my nephew, Michael's wedding at the beach in Clearwater and it was beautiful. We then spent a few more days in FL before traveling to Lynchburg, VA for our oldest daughters college graduation. Which by the way, was mine and Phillip's 23rd Wedding Annivesary. What a great anniversary present. When we left Lynchburg and went to Appomattox, VA to see the McLean house where the Lee surrendered to Grant to end the Civil War. It was beautiful and somber at the same time. We then traveled to Columbia, SC to visit with Phillip's family before heading over to Okinawa. While in there we went to Fort Sumter in Charleston, SC which is where the Civil War began it too was very somber. We enjoyed our visit very much until my mother-in-law fell and broke three bones in her left foot. She required surgery to have them pinned and from what my sister-in-law tells me she is doing great. They had to do the surgery the old fashioned way because of all the damage to the tissue in her foot. Pray for her as she will be layed up and out of work for 6 weeks and she is living with my sister-in-law. Pray for my sister-in-law as well.
As of this posting I am sitting at the airport in Charlotte, NC in the USO waiting for time for us to go to our gate for departure to Reno, NV. From Reno we will drive to Seattle, WA, store the truck and catch our flight to Okinawa, Japan. I can't wait for this adventure to be over and to be settled into our new home.
