Hi Guys, Coming to you from JFK International Airport this morning. So I procrastinated as usual and didn't even start packing until 10PM last night. Now, before you question my integrity because the video post, from Sunday but posted last night, said I was packing, I was, but only in my head. Last night was crunch time and I ended up staying awake until 2:30AM and I set my alarm to wake me up at 3:30AM to be on a plane in Atlanta by 6. Well of course I didn't hear the alarm going off until 4:07 and I had to be at my Dad's house by 4:30. All I can say is thank you Marine Corps for teaching me how to SSS in under 5 minutes. I even had enough time to take the trash out, so I don't come back to that treat!
Right now, I'm in the Sakura Lounge of Japan Airlines, just walked in like I own the place and the polite Japanese ladies manning the store started to say something, then giggled, looked down and covered their mouths. Not sure if that means I'm a rock star or not, but I do know it means I got some good food, premium liquor (which I saved for later, small plane bottles you know) and plenty of NAYA water, not sure why JAL had Canadian water in New York, but who am I to question this stuff?
Since last night was such a late night, I'll try to sleep as much as I can from here to Tokyo. I may bust into my sleeping pills or the muscle relaxers, break out the kindle and see what happens. It's a 14 hour flight to Narita, then another 8 to Sydney and that doesn't include the 4 hour lay over. There is another Sakura Lounge in Tokyo that I will take advantage of, hopefully it's busier than here, there's only one other person right now and I'm pretty sure there would be a language barrier.
OK, enough for now, I'm going to walk the airport and see who I see and maybe I'll get recognized for the rock star that I am or at least mistaken for a member of the janitorial team.
