恵たち家族と一緒に６人で帰省しました。

サンフランシスコ経由で４月３日の夕方６時頃に羽田空港に着き
国際線ターミナルにあるロイヤル・パーク・ホテルに２泊して
４日５日と東京で遊んで５日に私たちは北九州へ飛び
恵たちは広島へ飛び、３泊広島で遊んで
一足先に小倉にいる私たちと８日に合流しました。
私たち夫婦は小倉の妹宅に５日から９日まで泊めてもらい

また１４日と１５日は妹宅にお世話になりました。
恵たちは１０日から１５日まで小倉のリーガロイヤル・ホテルに泊まりました。

今回の旅は両親が佐伯を引き上げて若松に戻って最初の帰省で
今までは佐伯の両親宅に泊まって朝から寝るまでずっと一緒の時間を過ごしたけど
今回からは両親が老人ホームに入っていて
さらに母は私たちの出発の３週間前に軽い脳梗塞をわずらい
帰省中は病院に入院していて
施設と病院を行ったりきたりして
十分に両親と時間を過ごせませんでした。

Dave and I went to visit my family in Japan with Kay's Family from April 2nd to 16th.
We left Phoenix at 10:40 AM to San Francisco , then left for Haneda.
We got Haneda International Airport on April 3rd around 6:00 PM.
We stayed at a hotel at Haneda Airport for 2 nights.
So we enjoyed sight seeing in Tokyo for 2 days.

Kay's family flew to Hiroshima (Jeff's mission place)
and they visited Jeff's favorite places for 3 days.

and we stayed their home for 5 nights.
Kay's family joined us on April 8th, and stayed at my sister's home for 2 nights.
Then Dave and I stayed at my aunt's home for 4 nights, while Kay's family stayed at a hotel until end of the trip.
We came home on April 16th a little after 7:00 PM.
This was the first trip to Japan after my parents moved to nursing home.
Until last trip, we always stayed at my parents' home, so we could spend more time with them.
But we stayed my sister's home and my aunt's home, and it took a long time to back and forth to my parents' place this time.
Plus my mother had a minor stroke about 3 weeks before our trip, so she was at the hospital the whole time we were there. We had to go to visit my father at the nursing home and visit my mother at the hospital.
