So far....Drive down was fraught with the usual in depth conversation about the state of affairs in life and the church. We can be, I can be a contentious one.
After wonderful hugs from Nick and Mijo we arrived at the airport REALLY early but as a result was first in line ahead of a large contingency of japanese students on their way home who who were in line after. As a result, check in, security and arrival at gate...A breeze.
So we ate Udon for lunch. Why not start the different right away...salty noodle soup with chicken. We will wait to be in Japan to eat Sushi.
I am supposed to have wifi but it won't connect. Oh well. We have about 30minutes before we board. Here we go........
Thursday: in the plane.
4 hours in...smooth ride so far but flying over clouds. It's the weather system coming into the PNW as we leave it. I got a Kosher lunch for Scott...I don't know. I had the Japanese lunch and the Japanese student sitting with us, he had the Western meal. Go figure. Lots of movies to watch ... many hours ahead as we chase the sun west. We are at 33,000 feet and it is -51 degrees out. We have 6 more hours to go.
It's Friday: in the plane.
2 movies, an attempt at a nap, checking the distance, speed, weather, cloud cover for the umpteenth time. Scott is much more calm and centered. We skirted the whole of the Alaskan coast and all the Aleutians...those islands go on for about 6 hours. Scott is enjoying his Kosher meals...they bring it to him about 20 minutes before we eat so he can take the plastic off the dinner tray. Seems if he is picky enough to want Kosher...he has to be the one to take the wrapping off. Why Kosher you may ask..ahh, why not!
So far the flight has been wonderfully uneventful and dull ! 1 down 5 more to go.
