Departure to the land of the rising sun



Up at 4am, in air at 8am bound for sunny san francisco. There seems to be a new trend with these business flights of bringing 2 large bags as carry-ons rather than check any luggage. Because of this the overhead compartments were completely filled before i had a chance to even board the plane. I was forced to check my single roller bag on the jetway. I really hope the baggage handlers aren't too hung over this morning! Landed at 9:40 pacific time, but we were stuck on the taxiway for over an hour before the plane had a gate. Ran from one terminal to the international terminal (no time for duty-free!) and arrived just in time at 11:15 for our 11:28 scheduled flight to Narita airport in Tokyo, Japan. There was a 30 min delay before the plane even left the gate; I hope they managed to get the bags off our last flight and onto this one in time! Decent seat location (52G) with the big screen only 3 rows away. 10:55 estimated flight length would put us in Japan by 4pm Wednesday.

Location : Japan,
