Hello,
My name is J. and I have 2 kids here on island with us, due to divorce our oldest children were back in the states.
Cassidy is 3 and Reiley is 7 days old. We have been on the island for almost a year, I haven't done alot of exploring since i been pregnant the entire time we have been here and on bed rest for alot of that time. Okinawahai is a good site as everyone else recommended. Also there is www.2camels.com gives you stuff from all over. I usually google a name of a place that I hear people talking about so I can see what is on people's blogs too. If you would like to chat you can find me on yahoo at devine308 that is not my email but messenger name if you have it.
Take care,
J.

I have been living in Okinawa for almost two years. I would be happy to take you a few places and introduce you to some people in the area. We live on Camp Foster, so we are very close to Kadena. Let me know if you would like to get together.

Welcome! I've been here over a year and even though its a small island there is tons to do here! I'm part of a playgroup that mostly hosts toddlers, but you could come before she starts school and pick some brains... its a group called Kinyoubi Kids (Friday's Kids)... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KinyobiKids/
