They are here! My husband's parents and grandma made it safe and sound to Japan. We rented a minivan to pick them up at Narita Airport and had a great reunion. We had tears in our eyes when we saw each other at the gate. We took a long way home since we missed a turn on the highway. After his parents checked in the hotel, we all came to our house and had an easy dinner. All together they'd been traveling for 19 hours since leaving Chicago. They didn't sleep much on the airplane, and they were quite tired before the end of the day.
BTW, before we met them, we got to see a friend of mine from college. She came to see us with her family. They live near the airport, and I had asked her if it was possible for them to come by for a short time. We had a nice chat, catching up a little bit since we last saw each other almost 12 years ago! That was an extra treat:-)

到着しました！旦那の両親とおばあちゃんが無事に日本に着きました。レンタカーで成田空港まで迎えに行き、再会しました。ゲートでお互いの顔を見た時には目にいっぱい涙を溜めていました。帰りは高速で少し道を間違えたので時間がかかってしまいました。義両親がホテルにチェックインした後、皆でわが家に来て簡単な夕食をとりました。シカゴを出てから１９時間かけての移動、飛行機ではあまり眠れなかったようでずいぶん疲れていました。
ところで、義両親達にあう前に、私の大学時代の友達と家族に会う事が出来ました。空港の近くに住んでいるので、少しでも会いに来てくれるか聞いてみたのです。１２年近くぶりだったので、お互いの近況を報告し合ったりと楽しくおしゃべりさせてもらいました。ついでにいい思いをさせてもらいました。
