Kate and Yutaka Visit!

Kate Kamoshita (formerly Kate Carlson) was my first college roommate and my traveling partner throughout southern Africa.  She moved to Japan a few years back to teach English, and was actually the one that inspired me to look into teaching English abroad.  While in Japan, she met Yutaka Kamoshita, and a little while later, they got married!  While they are already happily married, their wedding ceremony is yet to take place.  They are having a family only wedding ceremony in Japan in February and then a huge ceremony in California in August. 

Kate and Yutaka Kamoshita came to Thailand this past Friday for a romantic 10-day holiday vacation on the paradise islands of southern Thailand.  They flew in on Friay night, arriving in Suvarnabhumi Airport at around midnight.  I was there to pick them up, with help from the intercom, as usual. We all shared a room in this great place - Grand Pinnacle Hotel - just about 5 minutes from the airport. We went down the street to a local bar, caught up on each other's lives and reminisced about years past. While I only got to see Kate and Yutaka for a few hours, we had such a wonderful time, and it's pretty awesome when you get to meet up with friends all around the world. Last time I saw Kate was when my mom and I were in Japan.
