Dr. Sturke wrote on October 30 -- Flew out on time.  missed the typhoon.  They cancelled the rest of the flights for the day after we flew out.  The flight was smooth -- only 12 hours this time.  Very relaxing.  Arrived in Chicago at around 2:30 p.m. Saturday.  Mr. Dahm and I sat in the airport waiting for our flight at around 8:30 p.m.  Really enjoyed Japan.  The people are very friendly and helpful.  I would highly recommend visiting.  Thanks for reading.
