Daughter's Wakayama, Japan trip (https://wbs.co.jp/news/2017/07/18/104094.html)






She met Vicki's dad's cousin Susumu's family.



She enjoyed staying with 2 homestay families and meeting the locals.






Thankfully she made it home after 36 hours of flying and waiting in airports (Osaka to Vancouver, Canada to LAX to BWI). She will briefly go back to LA in a couple weeks to give a speech about her trip at the Nanka Wakayama Kenjinkai (NWK) Picnic.

Picnic and post-trip presentation in Buena Park, CA
