March 27 - 29, 2020 | Houston Yee-Ha(w)nami & Onsen Trip
Like a Hanami (cherry blossom viewing party), except Texan!

Our friends from the Texoma (Texas/Oklahoma) JET Alumni Association have invited JETAA Mid-South out to Houston for a Texas-style Yee-Ha(w)nami Bluebonnet viewing picnic.  They sweetened the deal with the promise of Korean-style Onsen/spa, conveyor belt sushi, and Japanese stores we don't have here at home!
