Tokyo time

Trip recap to far...

I slept for about an hour on the flight, but the JAL business class was better than I remembered. I didn't eat much on the flight, and by the time I was hungry, they were done with meal service. My mistake. Immigration was an absolute fiasco. Taxi line outside was hot & sweaty & also surprisingly long. I'm shocked by how many tourists there are in July - July is not a month I'd recommend to visit Japan, with the heat, rain & humidity. 

Got to the hotel & was put on a high floor (yay!), which definitely helps with sleeping, as you can hear street noise (ambulances, in particular) if you are on the lower floors. Ordered room service, unpacked & took a bath. Went to bed at 7 pm. Woke up at 3:30 am, because #jetlag.

Went to the gym, then stopped by the club lounge to get breakfast. Club access is available with my Hyatt Globalist benefits, and is super valuable. It saves me from having to do a bunch of expense reports (and, saves the company money, I suppose). The fruit was delicious. 


On the less great side, I wear a sports bra (with additional clothes over it!) when I travel on international flights, to make it more comfortable for potential naps. I've now come to realize that I forgot my bra. Folks, I have all dressy business wear & they definitely need a bra. I'm also in a place where I don't wear, shall we say, a standard Japanese bra size. Oh good lord. How is this going to go?! I need to move some meetings & find a shop that will work. Sweet mercy, wish me luck!
