EJ is off to Japan

Today Dad and I got up at 3:30 am to take EJ to the Louisville airport. He was flying into Houston for a layover and then on to Narita, Japan. That is the same airport we flew into before heading to Korea. I know he made it to Houston and has boarded the plane for the next leg of the trip. But, he will not be finished when he arrives in Narita. He must travel, by bus, for another 3 hours to Kofu. He is going to be studying at the University of Yamanshi in Kofu, Japan.

For the first few days he and a friend will visit Tokyo. They have made plans to stay in a hostel...that should be fun?! He is very excited about this year-long journey and has even started a blog...wonder if he was inspired by his big sis? :)

He will not make it home for Christmas or Kelsey's 1st birthday, but he will be home at the end of their 1st semester of school in March. So, I've added a ticker to the blog to count down the days until my little bro comes back to visit us.
