Safe and Sound in Tokyo
I woke on Tuesday morning in the hotel by Orlando Airport at 3:40am. My flight to LAX took off a bit after 6:00am and arrived in LA a bit early. My outbound gate (41) was only a five minute walk from Gate 49 where we landed. I hung out in the Admirals Club for a few hours and at 11:35am we were on our way to Tokyo. The flight was the shortest 10 1/2 hour flight ever. I was engrossed in several movies the best of which was “The Accountant.” I was confused for a bit but near the end it all came together. It’s amazing what an autistic child can accomplish … I was quite happy to just get to see the ending of my second favorite movie, “Everybody’s Fine” starring Robert Di Niro. Again, the subject matter hit home.
Before I knew it we had landed at Tokyo’s Narita. It was a good walk to customs but there was no line at all. When I got to carousel B2 my bags were the first out. I grabbed them, found the bus counter, and at 4:48 Tokyo time bought my ticket for the 5:00pm bus. I was in my room at the Keio Plaza hotel at 5:50pm which is 3:50am in Florida, both on Wednesday 8 FEB.
It would be hard to imagine a more perfect travel experience. I forgot to mention that I slept about 20 minutes on the LAX/Narita leg so as I type at 7:47pm Tokyo time, it feels like I am home just about getting ready to hit the sack. I am hoping that I sleep past 3am 
Glad the trip there went well.
Get some rest.
Look forward to seeing photos of monkey business!
Slept from before 9pm till 1:18am. Then again from 4:30am till 6:15pm. Hello jet lag! IAC, I was very glad to get back to sleep even though it took so long.

Glad everything worked well. Wow, I can’t remember ANY recent flight where I slept only 20 minutes, let alone such a long one!
Me neither!

Remember ones limitations…then push it another 10%! Good shooting and play smart!
Good advise. I rarely push it more than 200 % however …

Glad to know that all is well.

Great. Let us know what the weather is like and how the cold weather gear you bought is allowing you to cope with the weather.
Will do once I have to cope with the weather
Everybody’s Fine is one of my favorite movies also, for the same reason you mentioned. It hits home on so many different levels. Travel safe.
Yes sir!
