What more can I say than it was a long, boring flight. We had to send to sit on the tarmac for 2 hours while they fixed something in the inter plane audio communications. So the flight was 12 hours + 2 hours sitting. 14 hours is just too long to sit in a long metal tube with 400 other people.
Once we arrived at Narita Airport/Japan, we had to get a train to an hour ride to Tokyo Train Station, and then a half hour cab ride to the hotel. I think it was a test -- how many types of transportation could you put me on while I'm drop dead tired?

But we arrived at a wonderful hotel -- the New Sanno Hotel. It's wonderfully spacious, non-smoking, clean, and great service. It's a hotel for active and retired US military. So it feels a little like a small Las Vegas hotel and you can even us US dollars to pay for things. So it's a little weird because it feels like I'm in America instead of Japan. But it's nice to come back after a long day and not have to worry about translating things, etc.
Anyway -- long day for the first day. I did an all-nighter so it was pretty easy to drop into bed and snooze for 11 hours!

Oh, no! Anyway, now you've had your required "flying experience" so the rest of the trip will work perfectly!
You should have gotten a PSP to keep you entertain, Kathleen!!
Old Sanno Hotel was cozy, new Sanno Hotel is spacious...never been to the new one but some people compared it to Hale Koa or something. I wonder if that close?
