Two days late

Two days late, but better late than never! Wednesday was mad. After Maria's exam, we finished packing and prepping for our trip at around3:30 AM just before we were going to be picked up to be dropped off at the airport. We arrived at the airport at 4:15 and stood in line for a bit so that we could stand in another line. We had to miss breakfast because we were told that once checked in, we were obligated to go wait in another line. Thanks C and C for dropping us off, without breakfast to boot !

Since we had not had any sleep, we slept for a tiny bit before our flight. We boarded the flight and slept some more and some more on the flight to Tokyo, which departed timely from DC and arrived before schedule in Tokyo. ANA (All Nippon Airways) is a great airline. The food was decent and the stewardesses friendly. It didn't hurt that they were attractive japanese women.
