Come Fly with Me

       My flight to Japan this weekend was the longest flight I have ever been on, and ended up being a very looong day. Leaving my sister's house at one A.M. on Sunday morning and landing at four P.M. on  Monday. After that there were several hours on a train... All in all, it was  a 30 hour trip 

Yet I only got to see the sun rise and set once....  

On the long portion of my flight there was a count-down timer to tell me how much time was left in the air, which made me think of several Cabin Pressure  moments. Cabin Pressure is a hilarious, British radio show that is, in a word, brilliant. The most notable quotes beinge:

"World record attempting flight around THE WORLD""

  "I...Am...Bored."

"Rubbish sunset."

Below are my last view of America for a year (Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco)  and my first view of Japan (just north of Tokyo).

During the flight, the plane tinted the windows since there were no screens to slide up and down. It gave the plane a peaceful, dark, bluish hue, as you can see by comparing the above and below photos.

That first day I basically did nothing but arrive and sleep.

Then next morning work began,so there was not a lot of time to adventure and sight-see, but I have still managed to have a few adventures. I'll tell y'all about them as soon as I can!
