Sarah and I have arrived safely in Japan, after a really long flight. Door to door, it took 23 hours to get here. For the first time, I flew in the back of the plane with the common folk, and honestly, it really wasn’t that bad. It was tough to sleep, but I blame sitting next to Sarah more than being in Coach. The flight was not full, though, and Sarah and I were able to share 3 seats between the two of us. It would have been much worse if there was another person taking up that seat.

We woke up this morning at 5am, but we’re both pretty refreshed. I’ll probably get tired late this afternoon, so we’re going to try to make the most of today. We have a day without work to spend together, so I’m going to show Sarah how the subway system works, and hit some touristy stuff together. I can’t express how excited I am to have her here to share the cool experiences around the city… we’re going to have a good time.

My parents are watching the children, and they seem to be ok by all reports… I’m sure they’re more than capable of keeping an eye on them, and they’re definately allowing Sarah and I to enjoy our time together without worrying. Much thanks to the both of them.

Oh, well… 6am, and time to introduce Sarah to the Tokyo Starbucks!
