Bev, Cheri, Rachel and I met at Westminster Chapel for a van ride to Sea-Tac. (Thanks for driving, Sean!) Check-in went smoothly, but because Bev and I were on "standby" status, our seats weren't confirmed until after Cheri and Rachel had already boarded. A bit of a nervous moment there but it all worked out. (We were standby because a generous friend of a friend was able to make 2 tickets available on Delta's buddy pass system which saved our team a lot of money!)

The 10-hr flight was uneventful, and we arrived at Narita in good shape but a little cross-eyed. Rob Stoddard, our EFCA ReachGlobal host in Tokyo, met us, and after a quick supper at the airport we drove to Hope House and settled in for the night. Hope House is a very typical Japanese house where many visiting teams stay. It hadn't been lived in much when our first JDRC team stayed there last June, but now it's been dusted off pretty well. It even has bunk beds now, but the sagging floor near the bath room is still exciting.
