Well peeps, I am back in the states and readjusting to local time.
I had a great time in Tokyo despite the short duration of our trip (thank you SO MUCH stupid American Airlines!). Just to recap if you missed it, I did not arrive in Tokyo Tuesday evening as scheduled because my flight to L.A. was delayed, then canceled. I got my money back from American Airlines and flew out to L.A. the following day on United. The United flight was smooth as butter, but I lost an entire day of my trip (and that day, I found out later, would have made a world of difference!).
My Singapore Airlines flight to Tokyo was wonderful! I got an exit row seat so there were no seats in front of me, a huge plus for an 11-hour flight and my long legs. We had recent movies available, American TV shows, Japanese TV show and lots of music available (headsets were free!). We got a little pouch with comfy socks, a toothbrush and toothpaste AND a menu of both American and Japanese-style meals. And, most importantly, drinks were free! I had some Riesling with my unagi and rice meal featuring cold soba noodles as an appetizer. A few hours later, we had fried noodles and coffee cheesecake. I was so happy.
