Okinawa Team enjoyed the tournament and the whole trip. We had our hiccups getting to California - instead of direct flight in the morning, our travel turned into a whole day trip via Portland to Sacramento, arriving at midnight. But, hey, we made it, kids performed strong, picked up some hardware, and ready for the karate training camp tomorrow with karate legends.
