Tokyo – San Francisco
So, finally, I am home.
The flight over from Tokyo to San Francisco was just over 9 hrs but it
didn’t seem that long at all. For once,
I had a very entertaining travel mate, a Brit called Richard, who was in the
international toys business (freshly-married and very in love with his wife, so
settle down) so we chatted for a good couple of hours at the beginning of the
flight. He then went to sleep (his seat
wasn’t reclining and I had no intention of trying to sleep (no Ambien) so I
gave him mine instead) and I watched back to back trashy movies and drank
champagne and wine. Perfecto. The flight was smooth, the food was
reasonable so it was a very pleasant flight and, all too sudden, it was over
and we were touching down in SF. Because
of the time difference, despite having travelled for most part of a day already,
it was only 9.30am! Immigration was a
breeze (although I’m having trouble now finding my green card, so hope that
turns up!!) and my bags duly arrived, intact, so all that was left to do was
hop in a cab, and head home. What an
amazing, amazing experience and kick-ass way to enter my 4th
decade!! BRING IT ON!!!!
