Made it to Tokyo-Narita (NRT) Airport

It is about 4pm local time at Tokyo-NRT airport on Thursday, March 1st. Our connecting flight to Beijing departs in a little over an hour, and we are waiting comfortably in the ANA lounge. Steve is going to get a drink and, if I have my guess, it would be coffee, but since it is 2am in the morning at home, he had a Perrier.



We had a smooth flight and a very comfortable one. Long, but Steve says it was one of the best flights he has experienced. Hurray for business class! The food we ate by choice was Japanese. When in Japan, eat as the locals do. Everyone in Japan bows to you and is super polite. Very little turbulence on the flight.

The business lounge, where we are now waiting, is neat and decorated in a natural modern style.

I was sick a little last night, due in part to having put on a med-patch on my ear to handle motion sickness. On the plane we saw a bassinet for a baby in enconomy and that baby was sleeping in it quite peacefully.

This has been a little overwhelming---a long haul flight. We miss you all, and shall post when we can after ariving in Beijing.
