OUR OKINAWAN ADVENTURE AND BEYOND, 2005-2009

Courtesy of the USMC, James and I have been stationed in Okinawa, Japan since December 2005. We hope this site will best convey what has been the adventure of a lifetime, through Asia and beyond! Stay tuned for our Stateside adventures as we prepare to separate from the Marine Corps in the summer of 2009.
