Evan's Journey

Evan finally took off from Alaska on Sunday morning. He had a tremendously long journey but finally made it to Japan, where he has been ever since. He was supposed to only be there one night. As it turns out, he has been there for 3 or 4. They are hopefully going to take off tomorrow morning and will arrive in Thailand sometime tomorrow afternoon/evening. I have talked to Evan twice since he left. He is able to call me from the base phones and talk to me for a few minutes. He said that Japan is beautiful and he has gotten to see some of his friends from Tyndall AFB in Florida. He was hoping to go snorkeling this afternoon. He said that he thinks that I would really enjoy Japan. It is warm, beautiful and there is a beach. It is really really far away from family and friends though, so Im not so sure. But that is neither here nor there... (Maybe we could take a trip and just visit there sometime!)
Evan is safely in Japan and has enjoyed a few days there. However, he is ready to go on to Thailand and experience that country. He said that apparently there is a group of his buddies going to Bangkok at some point in the next few days. He is going to be very upset if he misses that so lets all hope that he makes it to Thailand in time to go. Anyway, hope everyone is having a good week. I will write more when I know more!
