Trip to Disney Sea
Oh what a day! I have been looking forward to this day since I planned it several weeks before I came to Tokyo. Emily met me in the hotel lobby at 7:30 AM. We had to take the JR (Japanese Rail) to get there. We left from Tokyo Station which is across the street from my hotel. We got our train tickets and headed for the train. The underground subways are huge we walked quite a ways to our platform, as we are walking we see many children who are apparently heading for the same destination, you could just see the excitement on there face. It is amazing how one little place can cause such joy in so many people. As we are heading down the stairs, I see a train already at the platform. I asked Emily if this was our train and she tells me yes. I hurry down the steps and tell her, that we should hurry to catch the train. I jump on the train and I hear Emily squeal. I turn around to tell Emily that was a close one and I see that the train door is closed and she is still standing on the platform. The look of shock and panic on her face could only match what I had on my face, I am certain. This replays in my mind like a scene in a movie, we are touching the windows on each side of the train and I mouth the words, "I will wait for you." while thinking, where am I going to wait for you at, I don't even know what stop I need to take to get to Disney? As the train pulls away leaving Emily behind, I remember the kids in the station and search the car for them. I spot a couple lil tykes and I pray that they are going to Disney. As the train approaches the next station, I realize that I can get off and wait for the next train that Emily is on. I know, country girls first time on the subway. We meet up again with much laughter and tears, we still can not talk about this experience with out laughing hysterically.
