My First-Born's in the U.S. for New Year's!!

Taka and I went to SF airport 12/31/09 to meet Ischin-kun and Kahori.

Is it only SF Airport that has these cool cameras to see people getting through the exit doors from Immigration and heading out to all of us waiting to pick them up?

Ischin's GREEN SWEATER!!! FINALLY, after waiting almost two hours the computers went down for the foreigners. So, Ischin with his U.S. passport could get through,
but he had to wait for Kahori to get through

Ohhh, the dear tired buggers made it!!

We whipped them out of there to travel out of the airport. 11am. Their flight for the countdown in Las Vegas was at 4:30 pm

We took them to Golden Gate Bridge!!!

At Fisherman's Wharf, to get a bite to eat and a little shopping in, where we parked was this beautiful woman cop on a horse posing for everyone brave enough to stand next to that big powerful horse.

Then back to the airport, to watch them wearily proceed onto their next leg of the trip.

The day before we got to visit with Victor, Aria and Rue at the final game of a three day tournament which Zen's H.S. team was in.

Rue and Zen. Looking like SUCH the brothers!!!
