Before Japan

We left for Japan on October 10th. We had been planning to go for over a year. My brother-in-law Billy's brother Rick lives in Okinawa. Chelsea and Billy mentioned that they wanted to go and the planning began.

Wed, Thur, and Friday nights I had stand-ups (last flight in at night and first flight out in the morning.) My body was so confused by day three when it was suppose to be asleep. Saturday morning I arrived into LAX around 6:00 am. I drove home. I showered, packed, ate, and drove back to the airport.

We dropped Chelsea, Billy, and Ryan off to catch a flight on All Nippon. Brandon and I wanted to fly Northwest (Delta) but it was too full so we flew United. We were the last to board the aircraft. It was a 777. We had economy seats.

I was so exhausted. I think I was too exhausted to sleep. I couldn't get comfortable. The flight was around 11 and a half hours. The same movies played over and over. The selection was not good. My bum was numb by the time we got off the airplane.
