I arrived in Qing Dao today. The train ride was only 9 hours and it was nothing compared to the train ride to Beijing. I just pretty much slept the whole way. There were a lot of students from SAS on our same train. It was fun to swap stories, pretty much everybody had an amazing time in China. I honestly cannot believe that all we have is Japan, then it is back to the United States! It feels like I have not been there in forever! Unfortunately we only get less than a day in Hawaii, but at least we get some kind of break between Japan and Cali. There were a bunch of things I wanted to do in Hawaii, but since we are low on time, I kinda think I will just be a bum and lay on the beach. My parents sent my cell phone to the port in Hawaii so I will be able to call people. I have so much to say to so many people! I can't wait to talk to everybody! It will be much needed. I kind of feel like the voyage between Japan and the states will take forever. I am looking forward to Japan. The only things I really have planned are Hiroshima, and hopefully I will get to see Mt. Fuji. I kinda want to keep it low key, I am so tired from China! It is only early afternoon and we dont even need to be back on the ship til tonight, but I am just staying on the ship and resting! I will keep this one short, I just want to say Happy Anniversary Mama and Daddy! And Happy Birthday Jon! And, Happy Earth Day to everybody else! Two days at sea, then I am in Japan. This trip has gone by unbelievably fast. There is only like 23 days left!
