Lisa, Ben, and Sophia arrived a little late and without luggage, but we are ecstatic about them being here. We stopped and picked up Sushi and had a great lunch and later went shopping in Ikebukuro. Sophia did very well for such a long day and jet lag. <\/p>\n
The luggage is still in Paris. There is a baggage handlers’ strike that Lisa and Ben were not informed of. Consequently, they had very few of many needed items–baby items, clothes, contacts, power cords for camera and laptop, and toiletries to name a few. It appears that the luggage may not arrive for a week or more (possibly not until they’ve returned to England) since there is such a large pile of luggage.<\/p>\n
So some of today (Thursday–the day after they arrived) will be spent shopping for more essentials. Fortunately, they will be reimbursed for much of this as they had purchased insurance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
