We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

Like a Japanese Santa...




Some of you might remember, the winner of my 400th post trivia contest was Gina Baynham from Australia! Gina found my blog from a comment I left on another, about a year ago. She left a lovely comment here and we've been keeping tabs on each other's blogs ever since.

Gina's family emigrated from Ireland to Australia several years ago, and (much like we did while preparing to move to Japan) started a blog to document their adventures and keep in touch with family back home in Ireland. I have loved learning about her family and I'm certain if we lived in the same town and had met that way, we'd be friends "for real".

Well, sweet Gina did this blog post to document the big "reveal" when the package arrived. It was even more fun to see them opening the package than it was to shop for the contents (and I already knew what was inside).

Just thought I'd share it with you here.

That's all.
