Flying to Iwakuni, Japan

Today is February 22, 2010, we flew to Iwakuni Air Force Base for one reason. We will catch the plane bound to Seattle the next day. We left here in the house around 7am by driving head to Yokota Air base. We got there on time before the roll call which is so good. The plane arrived and few people got out. We dont have any problem to get on on the plane. When we arrive in Iwakuni AFB, Brian checked in for the next day flight, just to keep us up ahead to everyone. The lady was so helpful, we found out that our paperworks need to be reinstated our destination and so we are elligible to fly the next day for Seattle. Brian called his office and straigthened everything, we are so lucky the people working in the office did not left it yet or else we will be doomed (AGAIN).

After that, we went ahead and checked in at the visitors quarters. We thought the building that we were stopping for the checking in is the building where we are going to sleep. Oh, I am wrong. We rode a taxi to get to the visitors quarters and dropped all our bags, we are the second floor. Bringing 3 suitcases, no fun at all.


This is their visitor quarters. The place is cozy, we have two twin size bed with full kitchen. Oh big refrigerator. I will say American refrigerator since I am using Japanese ref which is so small hehehe.
I asked Brian that we are going to pick up a few bottled water at the store. Their Exchange store are much better in Yokosuka and it might be in yokota. It is just like a small mall the way they displayed their items, it is a two storey store. It is not crowded. We picked up also a headphones and a splitter for my ipod to keep the children entertain while we are on the plane.


This is a Japanese hangar for the fighter plane back in WW II.... they preserved it but it was closed when we got there.

This is their exchange store, it is like a little mall..
