I am so happy to be caught up on my blog now. We are on our way to Japan now, from Alaska, across the Bering Strait and I am so looking forward to these 10 days to get several items accomplished. I just noticed several edits did not come through on my prior post in Alaska, I have had some wifi issues - so please revisit those post for updates!

Also I came up with a work around idea to get a chance to hear from you after you read my blog post. I am going to link them to Facebook and you can check them from there going forward and be able to comment, which I would truly welcome. I hate posting and then hearing nothing but crickets in return!

Also, please note we are all very safe here in the open sea despite the Tsunami Warnings you may be hearing for this part of the world. Being on a ship in the open waters is one of the safest places to be. I pray the areas affected are ok - we hear the second port we are headed to in Japan, Hachinohe,  is on the news now.
