Elen leaves for Seattle on Wednesday, and I think her flight from Seattle to Okinawa is on Friday. She’s been having a good time, as far as I can tell. This will be her first visit (and presumably last) to High Point University. I’m sure it’s perfectly nice.
Mom prefers to fly on her trips, but she said it’s impossible to fly on her pass right now.
So how long will Elen be in Okinawa? My life-long friend, Bonnie had one of her twin brothers stationed there. The army wouldn’t take the second twin because the dad was disabled and the farm needed farming. Apple orchards needing apple orcharding, I mean. I think he was just barely 18, but it was the Korean War, so they took whoever they could.
I would imagine this is a terrible time to fly on a pass of any kind, being the start of the vacation season. But a mom’s visit is always good, no matter how they get to your house. ;o]
