Going home :(

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone waking up this morning. These past 2 days we have been laying around at the beach and relaxing. Today we went shopping and made our final purchases. Tomorrow we will board the plane to leave this beautiful island behind. The food, the culture, and the scenery will never leave our memories that we have been lucky to make here.  Sayonara(goodbye) Okinawa, until next time.
