UP, UP AND AWAY!!!!!

Hello, Everybody!!!
The plane took off exactly on time: 7:00 A.M. We landed in San Francisco, California at 12:30 P.M. Kids, how many hours was I in the air? Post your answer on this blog! We got to our hotel and it was beautiful. I was in meetings all afternoon with all of the other teachers. Very, very interesting! There are teachers here from all 50 states!! At our meetings we learned all about the things we will be seeing in Japan. I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED!!! The people are very nice and I enjoy meeting people from all over the USA. We had a great night, too! We took a bus to a beautiful house right on the San Francisco Bay. It was a big party for all the teachers on the trip. The house belonged to a very important man; the Japanese Consul General. Do you know what a Japanese Consul General is? Look it up and the first one who gets back to me will get a special prize! We had delicious Japaanese food; sushi and vegetables! I am going to bed now because tomorrow will be a long day of flying. The next time I talk to everyone I will be in Japan! Sayanara!!
