i'm here

i left boston at 6 a.m. on thursday morning, after very little sleep the night before..i was going to be so organized and ready by tuesday... didn't happen!

anyway, traffic and check in were smooth, my bags were not over weight by some miracle.. i did have a middle seat on the flight to chicago, but managed to sleep some without falling into anyone else's personal space.. i forgot to grab my neck pillow but picked on up during that 2+ hour layover.. i got some yogurt and wandered...

a suggestion... if there is a mcdonalds in your airport, buy your yogurt and water there.. it is much cheaper.. unfortunately for me... i didn't think of this before getting my expensive yogurt.. i would have waited to have water on the plane, but i was thirsty..

i was in the last row on the flight to tokyo, (economy is 2-3-2 seating) the man in the other seat was chatting with the flight attendant and just before we took off, he said he was going to move up a few rows to the center section because there were some rows with only 1 person and it would leave an empty seat between them, and i could have both seats in the back... that was really nice and it let me stretch out a bit when i slept, which i did!

i watched 3 movies.. the decendants... mission impossible, ghost something or other and sherlock holmes.. i started to watch the j edgar hoover movie, but it didn't hold my interest so i stared at he sky map instead... i was going to watch a dvd on my laptop, for school, for some training hours, but for some reason it would play, oh well....

another 4 hour layer in tokyo, where i got my lovely milk tea and wandered the airport... up to the 4th floor airport mall.. i lost my bearings at one point and couldn't remember where i came in, but wasn't too worried, because i knew i just had to get back to the first floor.. bought a few little items and made my way back to the departure area and read till we took off (sleeping a little more) i must have looked like a lunatic with my neck pillow on, sitting there...

not too many people on the flight to casey's and i had my own row again.. a short one hour flight (although delayed) and casey and ray were waiting for me.. there is a glass wall between the arrival lobby and baggage claim so even though we could see each other, we ( and i mean me here) had to wait for till i got my bags for hugs and kisses...

it was friday night now, with the time travel and all....

ray was not shy at all and let me pick him up right away.. he has been very sweet about me squeezing and kissing him..

leo is a little peanut...he was not excited to see me at all, sleeps right through the squeezing and kissing..
