I never thought we'd make it this far. Under the wall from Mexico, through California. Now on to a ship headed for Japan! Davis is excited. He's always been fascinated by the rich history of Japan. Thousands of years they have kept their culture and customs intact. Some really good, some harrowing, all beautiful. At least that is what he tells me. All that he knows he found from magazines in places we've been. Books he tried reading. On the road, that sort of thing. Once he showed me some pictures of something called a Shogun. It was a soldier of some kind. I wasn't really paying attention at the time. I'm sure he will show me things I haven't heard of when we get there. I just hope we can find places Were Friendly. I don't want to keep hiding forever. But he says that won't be a problem, Japan is open to the Weres and has always protected our rights as people and animals. I'd like to believe him. We've said our goodbyes, and are boarding the ship. We'll have to work for our suppers, but I'm not against that. I like being put to good use. I'm strong and take orders well when they’re given better. This will be difficult, but not impossible. I'll miss Danny and Violet and the twins. I didn't get to really know Jake. He seemed to keep his distance, very wrapped up in Daniel. He's already making a good dad. Better than mine ever was. I'm glad to see that. Davis slips his arm into mine and puts his head on my shoulder as we go up the ramp. I kiss his cheek and an older woman waving over the railing spies us.
I thought she was going to say something negative but instead she smiles and clasps her hands in front of her face, blowing us a kiss! This has already become an interesting trip.
