This weekend, I got an update from Miyamoto-san on Skype about how she had taken a trip with her daughter and Toshi-san's family to Orlando the week before last. They had spent a few days in Disney World, Sea World, and shopping in the outlet mall, which she claimed is the ultimate shopper's paradise as it is full of sales and bargains that are so rare and hard to come elsewhere. Her favorite event was going to Disney World and experiencing Magic Kingdom with Marin. It made her happy to see Marin so excited to meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse in person as well as give them a big hug. The second best was watching the dolphins and whales at Sea World as they were so disciplined and could perform countless acrobatic feats with their trainers.
Now, Miyamoto-san is preparing to pack for her move back to Japan and so far, she says its a pain and struggle having to prepare and organize the whole house into a million boxes and suitcases. It also irritates her ankles when she stands or moves for very long periods, so she has to take frequent breaks and have someone else to help her with the rest of the moving process. I offered to help her out as soon as I returned to Tallahassee, that way she could finish up quickly and have some time to relax before the long flight back. Hopefully, we can meet up again soon before the move as we were so busy we didn't get much time to fully enjoy each other company's or get to take a nice trip. She plans to be in Japan by the end of the month, so I suggested we do lunch if it is possible (we live far outside of Tallahassee) before the week is over. She is totally cool with that!
