Well, I'm all packed and almost all ready to go! Thank you so much to my homeroom moms - Mrs. Pilcher, Mrs. Moslander, and Mrs. Henry for the wonderful Japanese bon voyage party and luncheon. We dined on miso soup (with seaweed!), Japanese crackers, desserts, and green tea. We also had wonderful American brownies (thanks, Mrs. Hoehner). They and the class gave me a bag full of wonderful gifts - inflatable pillow for the plane, a travel billfold, handi-wipes, tissues, a book to read, and many other wonderful items! I will miss you all!
