Saturday Happenings

 I slept well (hurrah) & got up & had a bit of time to enjoy my coffee & then get in a workout. I've just finished packing & checking over my "last minute packing" list, and am heading to the airport in 30 minutes or so. 

When I arrive in Tokyo, it will be about 3 pm local time. This is actually pretty ideal from an arrival standpoint, as I will attempt to follow my standard plan: check in, work out, unpack, eat a light dinner & head to bed. My goal will be to stay awake until 8 pm, but that will be heavily dependent upon how/if I sleep at all on a flight. I'm flying Japan Airlines, and their business class (at least on the route I'm taking) is quite a bit smaller than United, for example. They also still have the business class where someone has to climb over you to access the aisle, if you are asleep. I believe this is also the kind with an ottoman vs full lie flat, but it's been awhile since I've flown on JAL, so I can't recall all of the details. It will definitely be an improvement over the ~9ish years I had to take economy at my former job! I was able to book business only if it fit within a certain budget, so it was much more rare. I often upgraded myself, using points or personal cash.

Enough procrastinating - time to get this show on the road.

Hope everyone has a great week ahead!
