Back in Japan for a Couple Days

 Hello all from Narita Tobu Airport Hotel! 

Our flight back home on Thursday was cancelled and rescheduled for Saturday.  So here we are in an airport hotel with a ton of other people and various airline flight crew.  (Seems to be the go-to hotel for the airport)

But back to the beginning - 

  • we saw the flight change - 
  • then the time changed for the flight 3 times in a couple of hours.  
  • When we checked in at Changi Airport in Singapore - they didn’t show any cancellation for that leg of the flight.  Weird right? 
By the time we got to the gate - they were calling our names to make sure we knew the flight had been cancelled and rescheduled- so nice of them 

Back to this amazing airport.  Again it’s just stunning.  It’s also luxurious- as in couches in the gate area, lounging areas with what could be pool chairs (poor description) plants.  It was no where near as ratty like some of the US airports.  I failed you all in not taking any pictures.  Sorry!

Once we landed in Japan, the American Airline staff were great.  We did receive hotel and food vouchers.  Easy peasy - no fight or discussion - just yes - let me get that taken care of for you.

So during all of this Shan and I were looking for other flights back to Kansas and Florida. Why?  We booked that segment separate from the flight to Japan.  Why?  Missy couldn’t get a flight from Florida at a reasonable hour to make it to Dallas in time for the afternoon flight to Japan.  So we just booked Florida/Kansas to Dallas on a separate ticket and spent the night in Dallas prior to Japan flight. 
So with the international part of the flight being rescheduled - we had to reschedule this separate flight.  So now Shan gets in at a reasonable hour in Kansas, while Missy arrives in Florida after midnight.  YUCK!

We are planning on visiting the Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple today since it is nearby.
