Farewell at Nanao - KIX to SFO

Waiting at the gate!

After 10 days of fun adventure, sight seeing, amazing food and hospitality our time to head home is soon! We are checked in waiting at the gate to get on the plane. We are sad to be leaving but very excited to see our family friends and loved ones. See you soon!!!!

Time to head home!

Our stay in Nanao has come to an end.  We have been blessed with a week of wonderful weather, great food, and tremendously warm and generous hospitality of everyone in Nanao.  We are all truly grateful.

This is our last post until we reach the Kansai Airport, and then on to SFO and Monterey.  See you all soon!

Saturday - Farewell Party

Today is Saturday, the day when each student has all day to spend with their host family followed by the Farewell Party in the evening.  We gather at the Nanao Train Station at 8:00AM Sunday morning to begin our long trek homeward.  It has been a very long fun-filled week that was over in the blink of an eye and most students are both excited to go home, but none want to leave Nanao.  It has been a wonderful, heartfelt time for all of us.
