Val & Collette Cook Family

Hawaii!!! 49 states down one to go. We stopped in Hawaii to change planes. That was an adventure China Air must not be a common flight plan Hawaii is a destination not a layover. After lots of questions we found our next airplane. The lady changed our seats so we each had an aisle seat with two empty seats in between. This was very helpful on a 9 hour flight. I was able to lay on three seats and sleep with my leg up. So many little blessings. When we got to Japan we were exhausted. There were so many things papers to fill out at customs pick up baggage fill out more paper work. Then buy a train ticket to Tokyo.
