A New Adventure



Greetings from the land of the rising sun!...wait, that can't be right, can it? Surely, there is some mistake!

No. I am in Japan at the moment staying a rather nice hotel called Hotel Nikko Narita courtesy of Delta Airlines.

Everything was going very smoothly until we touched down in Tokyo for my flight change on the way to Bangkok, when the announcement was made that the flight to Bangkok would be canceled due to mechanical difficulties, so sorry for the inconvenience. However, there was a flight from Japan Airlines that would be leaving in less than two hours, so if you could please hurry up and wait while we make no special accommodations for you and you miss the flight. So sorry. Now please wait several hours in the airport while we make arrangements. Downside: I'm now a day behind in travel. Upside: Free room with a clean bed and internet and a night of rest.
Here is what the room looks like:

Not bad for a free room, eh? Also, bath and robe included. Fantastic.

Also, that picture at the top is what I look like after getting up at 3:30 Thursday morning and traveling until 10:00 pm Friday night.

I'll blog more tomorrow when I send e-mails to family and friends to let them know what happened.
