Flight and Hotel

 The 13.5 hour flights was just fine.  No anxiety about being stuck in a metal tube for that long - Yay!

As predicted - each of us watched TV, read, and slept - although Jason said he didn’t get much sleep. 

I was able to watch the pilot rotation - the seat across from me was used by at least 3 different pilots throughout the flight.  Each of them had on what I can only call “old fashioned” men’s pajamas.  Whoever’s turn it was - would go through the ‘secret’ door in uniform and reappear in pajamas.  It was neat to see.  I believe there were at least 4-6 pilots and 2-3 1st officers.  Basically there were 4 folks in the cockpit. 

We arrived and breezed through customs,  walked around some shops - and almost missed our bus to the hotel as we all had a problem with military time - don’t laugh - we were tired. 

The Hilton is very nice.  Our room is on the 37th floor - nice views of this part of the city.

Now we are all in the room awaiting room service - we are very hungry.  

Tomorrow we start the adventure in earnest - meet our driver at 9:00 am for a full day of sightseeing. 

Some photos from the plane - scenery over Canada

Also there are a huge variety of Kit Kat’s available in Japan - we received our 1st one when we checked in to the hotel.  Tiffany has requested a Sweet Potato Kit Kat - so let us know if there are any you all want and we’ll try to get them!
