up, up, and away...

...or not.

We set out today for Miyakojima Island, one of the southernmost of Okinawa (and all of Japan.) All was well as we prepared for a short flight and then a meeting with the mayor. Alas, the mayor will have to wait because engine trouble grounded us. Maybe we'll make it down there soon.... So, right now, we are stuck in the airport. But it is an airport in Okinawa, so I really am NOT complaining. I just want to say to those of you who have travelled with me how very, VERY nice it is to NOT be responsible for making alternate arrangements to get us there. (Though you know I would have been able to!!)
