A long day of travel

Greetings from Tokyo.

I was up early to get to the airport well before my flight - my streak of never missing a flight continues.

KUL-NRT is long, 7+hours.  (~NYC to Honolulu perhaps?)  Today it was bumpy.  The typhoon just made the flight "jittery."  The plane, not me.

In fact, I slept the first three hours of the trip!  A huge wine.

After landing it was Immigration and Customs.  Bonus: my ABTC (APEC Business Travel Card) lets me use the diplomats' line.  Fast!!!

A bit of a wait for a bus.  I killed it by looking for food.  None to be found.  I really hate NRT.

The bus was a long slog.

At Haneda I looked for food and was successful.



Egg salad on crustless white - might be the epitome of safe food.
Japanese pre-packed egg salad is legendary.  Deservedly so.
Kyoto Lemonade tastes like Malatysion Lemonade.  Good.
Apple juice is always wonderful.

My tradition of fine dining in the Metropolitain Hotel continues!

I love looking at the flight path maps (duh...)  Bonus points if you can tell me why I found this interesting.

Hint: the position of the sun is a pretty big deal in the ephemera.

BTW, that's pretty good proof that the sun never sets on the former British Empire.
