Goodbye again :(

Family goodbyes are just the worst! After piling the suitcases into Dawn’s car she went on ahead and we caught the bus to Fukuoka airport.

The security guys went crazy over a pumice stone mum bought from Sakurajima but after triple checking it they seemed to think it was safe. Then came the sad goodbyes, the tears, the hugs and more tears.

After they’d gone through the gates I wanted to watch them take off so dawn and I headed to the observatory. We watched the workers loading the plane and even spotted mum and dad’s bright pink and blue suitcases!
Half an hour later and they were on their way to Hong Kong and Dawn and I were on our way to Costco for some “help me feel better” shopping. After all the traveling, crying, shopping and eating (we bought pizza at Costco) I didn’t even make it to bed and passed out on the sofa!
