This is Sarah, Amanda's cousin. Amanda will not have cell phone or computer access for the next day or so as she is en route to Okinawa.
I dropped her off at the airport this morning a little before 6:00 AM and she was anxious "to be in Japan already." No tears were shed. I think we were both too tired and anxious.
She managed to pack most of her belongings under the maximum baggage allowance after packing and repacking several times. She expected that one checked bag would be over the 50 lb limit but it was still within the 70 lb max. Impressive! I know she was worried about that.
