While the cast and crew land and adjust to Tokyo, I have set out on a trip of my own– a trip back home. I simply couldn’t allow my marriage to end without seeing Sonya to say goodbye, no matter how painful it would be. So, on December 5th, I began the first of 72 total hours of travel, by air and land, that would take me from Saigon to Minneapolis, MN; Davenport, IA; Santa Fe, NM; and ultimately, Tokyo. I have already made it to Santa Fe, where I’ll be able to spend Christmas with family. I regret that the cast and crew cannot enjoy the same privilege, but with every day home I grow more and more ready to take on Tokyo and the world.
