i got up yesterday and decided to take a chance. all flights outbound and inbound from Japan were fully booked because it’s peak summer holiday season. so it was kind of a gamble but why not try right? i’ve been pretty lucky recently.
i get to the airport and the staff tells me “no way.” i wait for the first flight to Narita. it leaves me behind. then as i was walking back to my motorcycle, i thought i’d try another flight. i sit, wait, everybody boards the full flight, then last minute, the staff calls my name. OMG, i got the very last seat because someone didn’t show up.
and guess what? it was the best seat on the plane! score!
i take out the menu and order the Japanese selection.
get out my Free Surf magazine and recline my seat.
been into off-roading too because my dream is to have one of these in Molokai someday. i’ll need it to get deep into the mountains.
ate dinner and was so stoked that Delta brought back there ice cream service! this is my favorite part of the flight!
after this, i closed my eyes and woke up in Japan.
then waited forever in immigrations because there were a hundred Chinese in front of me. the staff at the airport started talking to me in Chinese. is said “really?” haha.
well, in Japan now and going to spend my own summer vacation in Okinawa. from one paradise to another. but first, it’s a night in Tokyo with friends and sushi. i’m so happy to be here!
