JAPAN ADVENTURE

Welcome to Margie & Stan's Japan Adventure - our photo blog while living on MCAS Iwakuni in beautiful Yamaguchi Prefecture in Western Japan from 8/2004 to present. My photo above is the famous Kintai Bridge right here in Iwakuni. Be sure to check out Blog Archive (below left) for highlights of our travels. And leave us a comment - we'd love to hear from you!

Spring Break Trip to Beijing, China -- 4 Nights / 5 Days (kinda)

To see ALL of the Beijing pictures, it's best to check out the Archives -- first May 2007, then back to April 2007 for the second half. You can start here, but as I add more new pics above, more at the bottom will be archived into May. Unfortunately I started publishing them in late April & finished in early May, so they got split into two months. . .

Day 1 -- LEAVING IWAKUNI FOR BEIJING!
It's a civilized hour -- 1o AM on April 8 & we're gathering on base for our bus ride to the Hiroshima Airport. It's spring break & we're excited to be going to Beijing China on a 5-day tour. The group has grown to more than 75, so it's going to be challenging everywhere we go, but we're confident that ITT & Academy Travel have done a super job planning for us. We're a large tour group & it takes 2 buses to carry us & our luggage!


The cherries are blooming as we drive through Iwakuni, but they may be all gone by the time we return at the end of the week.
















On the bus, Pam & Jake listen to one of Stan's (no doubt) delightful & amusing stories . . .
