Enroute

Relieved as the computer glitch was sorted out in Georgia and our plane took off for Detroit….with only an hour to spare till we boarded the dreaded 13.5 hour flight in COACH…..not where you buy classy pocketbooks. It’s actually not that long of a travel day, it used to take me 12 hours to fly from Martha’s Vineyard to Florida. At least when I get off this plane I’ll be in an exotic cultural…

Our first stop at the Modern Detroit airport was the Hudson Newsstand to purchase the whoope cushion that wraps around ones neck. …feels like a dead cat is snuggling up under your chin, at least it keeps the drool in the designated seat and the bobble head look is under control.
Since we couldn’t up grade to business class, (I kept explaining we were on a business trip,) we compromised with paying more to have elite seats, I am staring at the movie screen, one mere leg length away….meaning no one to kick in front of me and Amy is holding 2 passengers hostage across the aisle. We are contemplating the timing of our Valium intake with landing in Tokyo. Thinking a 6-7 hour nap will do.

Brian’s equation: one glass of wine + one ambiem = tomorrow.

Hey, look at that we’re here! That was easy. Tokyo has an unimpressive airport considering Japan’s reputation for engineering and space planning. I’m sure as “they” read this blog they’ll realize its time for an upgrade. Ut oh they are escorting us onto the next flight 7.5 hours to Bangkok…..who named a city Bangkok and what were they thinking….hmmmmmm.?
