See you later, Seattle

We're at SeaTac Airport, all checked in and ready to board the Delta flight to Tokyo.  Our team is eager to start this adventure.

The last few days have been a blur of final preparations: getting a sleeping bag at Costco, getting emergency dehydrated food at REI, making sure we have enough cash to exchange to yen, finalizing arrival plans in Tokyo, re-arranging home/family responsibilities (dog, garbage, lawn, etc.), and packing.

We all gathered at church this morning (with a Starbucks stop en-route) for a blessing prayer, then loaded a van to leave for the airport.

Really pleased with how this trip has come together, and with the truly amazing team members.  Each one has global experience, is stable and mature, and great attitudes all around.  Go team!

Next post from Tokyo!
