Join me as I pick up where I left off in the last episode - stepping off a plane at Hiroshima Airport, Japan, excited to be reunited with my husband after months apart. Listen as I paint a vivid picture of our journey from Hiroshima to Iwakuni, a city that was new and exciting to me, a place that might as well have been bustling Tokyo. Get lost with us in the unfamiliar streets of Iwakuni, and experience the unexpected kindness and hospitality of the Japanese people that left a lasting impression on me. This tale is more than just a travel story - it's a testament to letting go of control and embracing the ride, a lesson I learned during my time as a military spouse.

As we get lost in Iwakuni, we encounter a young Japanese couple who, without speaking English, lead us back to our base. This story is an illustration of trust and letting go of control, two lessons I learned in my journey as a military spouse. The experience left me impressed with the kindness, respect, and culture of the Japanese people. We also explore the idea of being in the moment and trusting that you're where you're meant to be and that everything will eventually fall into place.

Tune in next time as I share more about settling into my new home in Japan, my quest for a job, and some of the hilarious mistakes I made with the Japanese language and household chores.
