Leah is coming tomorrow! I'm extremely excited! Right now I'm in an Internet Cafe in Fukuoka city. Tomorrow morning I'll hop on the subway an ride to airport. I'll spend most of the day waiting around the airport. But Narita airport is pretty huge, basically a city within itself.
Tonight I'm sleeping on a mat on the floor of a booth in the internet cafe and I wanted to share why this is so great. For about 1/3 the cost of a hotel, I get a place to sleep thats almost as comfortable. The beds at most hotels are pretty crappy. So this pad on the floor will get the job down without much sacrifice. Plus I get access to DVDs, television, a computer and tons of books. I also get free drinks, a tooth brush, a razor and shaving creme and even a shower here. The free drinks are nothing to scoff at either. Cola, tea, slushies, coffee, pretty much any liquid you need. 10 hours costs about 2,600 yen or about 22 bucks.
The downside of these places is that you have to sleep in a cubicle so the light and sound are never blocked out, but its a relatively dark and quite place. Also, they provide a pillow and a blanket but the pillow is rubbish, its a square sitting pillow.
Perhaps the best thing about these places is that you can walk in at any time, any day, and get a booth. I've heard they book up sometimes, but here I am, saturday night, just after school finished for the term and there are plenty of booths.
Please keep Leah and I in your prayers and thoughts because we're both traveling and prefer to arrive at our destinations completely intact.

I've been thinking of you and Leah all day as you travel to meet one another after a long time apart. I know she's excited too. You guys will be on all the Hebert's prayer list this week, especially Christmas Eve and Day. You will be greatly missed, but we are happy you will be spending it with someone you love.
Merry Christmas son. Peace on earth, good will to all.

Merry Christmas, Nephew!! I lost the address for this Website and just found it today. I heard there's some good news and I want to add my best wishes. Great blogging, by the way, and it sounds as if you're having quite a few adventures. We missed you at Christmas but know you're following your destiny! Happy New Year! -- Love, Aunt Denise
