I'm sure the package will get to Ithaca in time. My brother said he'd be honored to accompany the trio and I've made sure to reserve rooms in a hotel near my brother's conference so I can take the trio, my four children and my brother to see the big Buddha and some awesome gardens near the ocean in Kamakura and maybe visit a hot springs spa. (Places I haven't been since before my eldest, now 15, was born and a first for the rest of our group.)
I hope that they won't be hit too hard by jet lag. We'll keep the running around to a minimum but try to make the most of wherever we go.
