Our New Home!

Well it has been almost a month since we have been in Okinawa and things are finally starting to settle down. We moved into our house on Monday and now it's just getting things unpacked and put away. I have met some new amazing people and that gives me hope for the next 3 years. Not that I don't miss my ladies back home (because I do so much!), but atleast I won't be lonely! Last Friday I was privileged enough to be invited on a helicopter tour of the island. We flew in an HH-60 and were all strapped in. We got to fly with the doors open so the view was just spectacular! I took the pictures at the top on the flight. I have some great pictures from it. It was truly an amazing experience! I got to witness the beauty of the island first hand and I am so excited to call this home! Hopefully this summer we can get dive certified and go out and explore the reefs. In 2009, Okinawa was voted 2nd best diving in the world (the first was the Great Barrier Reef). There is a lot to do on the island. There are tons and tons of beautiful beaches and I hear the fishing is great! The weather has been okay since we have been here. Only a couple days so far it has been extremely warm. The worst is yet to come though. In July and August is when it's the most humid. It rains a lot. May is the start of the rainy season. Hopefully no major typhoons hit the island this year! Although I think it would be an awesome experience minus the damage haha! Well that is all I have for now. I need to go finish some laundry! Oh fun!
