I'll be heading to Yokosuka in less than two weeks. I paid for my ticket at the first of the year and it was $1500.00 but have been told that they are going for about $800.00 right now. As I am also retired military, I had to wait to reserve a room at the navy lodge.

Patricia, Misawa is a small base in Northern Japan. There's interesting things to do up there, but far less "happening" away from busy cities like Yokohama and Tokyo. I've been told that long underwear is desirable, although I never visited there myself.

Good Mroning to all.
Been reading and this site always helps my day to be better. So glad too, to know you have heard from your sailors. This IS the place to get answers and we are lucky in another way - we got a Navy Dad - so we can get the other side point of view. Anti M - sorry that I did not get back to you, I took my computer to the Geek Sqaud and they said there is nothing I can do to darken this print. They said it is becasue I use comcast. So I will just have to re-read to make sure I get things right. But thanks for being there. Sharing - got a wonderful LONG phone call from my son! He has a cold, but he said he is better than some of the other shipmates. Now the ship caught the flu and pink eye. I can understand getting the flu - but not pink eye. With ths shp having the Chicken Pos and now these illiness, I almost feel he is back in elementary school. And just like in grade school class rooms - when one gets sick - it would. travels through the entire class. And can anyone explain - WHY? If they take the sea sick pills - they GET sea sick. This is confusing, I thought the sea sick pills are suppose to NOT let one be sea sick. I am beginning to think that Navy Medcine is like Navy Time - both equal in meaning of MAYBE ! Back to my sailor - he talked with his Gram and a LONG time with his dad. And even the pet turtle. Yes, the turtle responded to his voice, she was knodding her head. This means she knows and accepts you. Then we placed her by his picture and she cept knodding. The turtle is 24 years old this August and she has us all well trained. Espcially her sailor. Well, I gossiped enough. Have to go bake a pineapple upside down cake. Every one - have a wonderful day. Hugs T-Lynn

T-Lynn, I'd have to know what operating system and type of computer you were using and I possibly could tell you how to make the print on screen larger... I have to do that.

PS ; Is there a way I can make the print darker in color - to see better? Maybe then I will not make so many mistakes.

Hi - it's me again.
I made a big mistake and apoligize to all. I was so forcused on the name of the soldier killed, that I read the name of city wrong. It's Belleville, IL not Belividere, IL. The soldier's name is still so familiar to me. My family is from the southern region and even my mother mentioned he sounded familiar. I hope his route home is filled with people showing the greatest of respect . Again I apoligize to all. I cannot be there in person - but I will light a candle to honor him. T-Lynn

David, Indy 500 at 1:00 a.m. LOL.
When I went to Japan, I couldn't adjust to the time. I had the weekend to adjust before going to work Monday morning. I was nervous about not sleeping until I realized it was almost 3:00 a.m. and the NFL games where about to start.

Good Day,
Happy Birthday David. I know with him not there - celebrating his birthday pulls on your heart strings, but so glad he called to share is happiness with you. Hope he sends you a copy of his birthday picture. Becky - adding my positive thoughts for you to soon to hear from your son. And that he is feeling better. Sending you a hug too. Everyone - a wish for a good day. T-Lynn

My son told me that there are free phone calls to the U.S. at the USO
