July 23-24, 2008 Flight back to MN and WI for funeral

Hi all
Well we made it safely back to MN and are getting ready to head to bed now that it is 11pm here and we have been up for 24 + hours. Flight went smooth and we were surprised and happy to see Grambo when he was there to pick us up at the airport in MPLS. He came home earlier than we expected. Stopped for some lettuce wraps and soup at our favorite Cam Rahn Bay Vietnamese Restaurant for some lunch. Then to Costco to get fruit for the gang tomorrow in WI. Home and unloaded bags and then CJ, I and Graham went and played a round of Frisbee golf and to keep moving so we wouldn't fall asleep. When we got back though and while we were chatting and watching some TV I did catch about an hours nap on the couch. oops!
We will pick Kalen up at the airport tommorrow and then we are off to WI.
Oh by the way if anyone with Northwest World Club membership ever gets to Tokyo, you have got to check out the club there at the Narita Airport. WOW ! We had like a full buffet of appetizers while waiting to board our plane. They had 2 kinds of soup, hot panini sandwiches, 3 kinds of sushi rolls/balls, veggie and salmon sandwiches, pizza cakes, fruit cups, soybeans, chocolate cake, sake ,wine, and beer served in an automated pouring machine. CJ got a video of that as well as one of me eating my first fish egg topped sushi :-( The crackling noise as I chewed was a bit unnerving ,but with the soy sauce and wasabi it wasn't too bad.
Sure did beat the fruit, crackers, cheese and cookies they have at all the other world clubs I have been in, in the USA. Those Japanese really are all about their food and serving it with such detail, order, cleanliness, and artistic flair.
More in a few days
Karla CJ and family
