Oh the web we weave, when we attempt to smuggle geckos onto a plane??

Getting to okinawa was certainly eventful! There was the usual and expected, dropping Jenner off for his vacation at Ruth's and saying goodbye to our lovely highlander which I will certainly miss. Getting to the airport to try and get seats next to one another for the first leg to Seattle, and then having 4 hours to kill. So going to extraordinary desserts with Ruth to gorge ourselves on sweets. Then returning to the airport and getting on the flight to find outlets at our seats, score no losing charge on this flight. Then showing up in Seattle for our ten hour layover only to find the USO closed and suddenly run into someone that Aj went to advanced flight school with who is also moving to okinawa, crazy! Then finally getting the bags checked in so we can go to the gate and wait for another 4 hours. Making the painful decision to become a tacky person traveling in yoga pants. But oh the comfort! Getting on the chartered airline only to find out that we were put in first class!! Suckers, everyone suckers!! It wasn't true first class of course the only difference was seat and leg space. But dear god the seat and leg space, oh my oh my! Who knows how many hours later, landing in Yokota, on the mainland, and waiting for like 4 hours when it is supposed to be 45 minutes because someone is trying to smuggle geckos into japan and they were on the plane the entire flight from Seattle!! At first we heard it was snakes and I almost lost my shit and I started talking like Samuel l Jackson. Point is, breaking the law, breaking the law! It is illegal to bring reptiles into japan and it is illegal to have them on military flights. Then landing in iwakuni, to find out that three people got off the flight in Yokota by accident, and their bags have to be evacuated....and that taking 4 hours. Oh and did I mention that the family of one of the missing passengers was on the plane?? Who continues on with a foreign pcs without their husband! Kind of essential to the process, dumbass. Have fun waiting in customs for him to be found because you won't be allowed entry into japan without your military member. Finally here, in the hotel, humidity is having it's way with me and gonna get a free I phone. Mic drop!
