Depature Date Confirmed! April 1, 2011

Konnichiwa Friends! There has been some confusion in regards to my current location. Luckily, my military orders were delayed and I am still state-side. I just found out about 30 minutes ago, that I have a plane ticket to Okinawa on April 1, 2011! For those of you worried about the current state of things in Japan, please note that Okinawa was not heavily affected by the Earthquake/Tsunami and is quite far from where the nuclear reactors are "radiating". Okinawa is an island south of mainland Japan. Currently many military families and all of the mainland US Girl Scout staff members have been sent to Okinawa while the nuclear situation in mainland is looked into a bit more. And now for the exciting portion of today's post! Here are some resources/links that have been requested.

Mail this way sent from the states comes at the regular US rate rather than at the higher international rate. The next post will be when I am in Okinawa!
