Konichiwa!
We are now on the airport limousine bus to our hotel in Tokyo. After a short delay due to being switched to a shorter runway and having to unload some cargo, our 747 took off and landed in Tokyo 12 hours later. Karen and Evan were sitting in business class while Alaina was
downstairs in coach. The plan was to switch seats halfway through the flight but for security reasons Alaina was not allowed to go up stairs and switch seats with them :(. Also-- never order a Kosher meal on an international flight. Alaina was stuck eating a prepackaged frozen Kosher meal that still said "Northwest" on it while Evan and Karen were upstairs having a wine tasting and eating filet mignon.Anyways, we're all together in Tokyo now and we are very impressed so far. Everyone at the airport was very friendly and everything here is very efficient and clean. Speaking of clean, the bathrooms at the airport were a very interesting new experience as well. Those of you that have used a "Toto" toilet know what I mean. That's it for now, we have about 40 more minutes on
the bus until we get to our hotel. We'll probably grab something to eat and go to bed.ps. you can probably tell that alaina wrote this post and is slightly bitter....
