[ USA

I am back in the US for some R&R. I haven't overcome my jetlag yet, so of
course I wake up around 2 or 3am each day, and I'm exhausted by early
afternoon.

Despite my bad fear of flying, I actually enjoyed most of the flight coming
over. And I would say we were extremely lucky with Typhoon #15: it was just
east of Chiba prefecture when we left and so we got around it. I saw on the
news afterwards though, that it dumped an unprecedented amount of rain on
Chiba prefecture stranding many, many people at Narita airport due to flooding.

Time to do more sightseeing today! I was surfing nps.gov and found out about
passport stamps. I'm going to get myself a passport and see how many stamps I
can collect while I'm here. I wish I'd found out about it last year, so I could
have gotten a stamp at the War in The Pacific National Historic Park[1] on
Guam. I'll have to do it the next time I go.

Enjoy your day!
