Our last day in Okinawa, we took it easy and spent time seeing the local sites, and visiting the nearby military bases. The majority of our day was to get ready for the Tokyo trip and doing last minute shopping!
The two bases we visited were Camp Foster (US Marine Corps) and Kadena Air Base (US Air Force). Camp Foster is where Dan currently serves as a Marine Corps JAG (Judge Advocate General), and the visit to Kadena, the hub of US airpower in the Pacifics, was to see the jets on display (picture below)!
"TOKYO, HERE WE COME!" We had an early start getting up at 5:30am, arriving to the airport by 6:30am and checking-in for our 8am flight! Leyna with her passport in hand was ready to fly anywhere!
Anyway to avoid the chance of catching a cold/flu in the plane, we all geared up with masks! Since it's so common for people to wear masks in Japan, we didn't get any funny looks from others. I'm sure if we did the same in the US, having a group of 4 adults in masks, we would have gotten some looks, hehe.
Our 2.5 hour flight to Haneda airport went smoothly. Arriving at 10:15am we quickly took the limousine bus (a shuttle bus service) to Shinjuku and the local surface train to my mom's house in Hachioji. It felt good to touchdown to our destination and put away our suitcases!
Before we say goodbye to Okinawa and enter our journey into Tokyo, I would like to share with you some photos that we took during our stay in Okinawa! As you can see, Leyna got quite the attention!
