Host Family Photos

I received photos of my host family! The girl is my host sister; she is my age. My family has lots of dogs.

Flight Info + Host Family Info

My visa is finished and I received my flight info!

I will be flying on United Airlines flight 819 from Newark to Chicago at 7:33 AM. In Chicago, I will take flight 881 to Tokyo. My host family is meeting me in Tokyo. The travel agency wanted me to change airports in Tokyo and then fly to Osaka from Tokyo, but Rotary and I were like "NO!" So I only have to change flights once and I have PLENTY of time between flights in Chicago. Yeah.

My Rotary counselor and I have been e-mailing each other all day. The reason why I am not e-mailing my host family is because they don't speak English. My Rotary counselor is my Rotary contact in Japan that helps me adjust to the culture, language, family, etc. He is actually an emigre from Sri Lanka.

My host family has a daughter who is my age! I'm so excited! I hope she takes me to hang out with her friends and to show me the city and go to the karaoke clubs...
