Turns out the HK Airport has free wifi, so score! I survived my 15-hour trek across the Pacific, though it was easily my most hellish flight to date. They changed my seat from a window to a middle seat, and the plane was PACKED. I got basically no (good) rest despite my best efforts and a melatonin pill, so I'm pretty drained. I haven't brushed my teeth or shaved, and I probably won't be able to do that until I get to the seminar house tonight.
On the bright side, my seatmates were friendly, and the staff was amazingly helpful. I also got to watch a few new movies - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Rain Man and the Inside Job. The food was pretty good as well, though between dinner at 3 am and breakfast at 5 am I got awfully hungry, needless to say.
I'm currently waiting for my 10:45 am flight to Narita, which should land around 4:05 pm Tokyo time. I can't charge my laptop here (the plugs are weird) so my battery is running down fast. I will be so very, very glad when this traveling business is done. I like BEING places, but getting there is always such a chore :)
It took me three months of going around in circles in the Pacific working 12 hour days 7 days a week on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier before I got to Japan and then they made me pull shore patrol duty when we got in. count your blessings. Love dad.
