On our way to Japan
By stunder | May 15, 2008
So Alicia and I got on the road today heading for Japan. We took off from Orange County (John Wayne Aiport) to hit our connecting flight in San Francisco (SFO). Our flight was a bit late into SFO because of fog in that area. Alicia was stressing about the trip for a couple of days but the hardest part about getting there was hitting our connecting flight in San Fran. They really need to do some work on the connection between the terminals at SFO. We made it to our seats and 10.5 hours later we were in Narita Airport.
After we reached the airport Alicia picked up our Japan Rail passes and it was on our way to the trainstation in the Airport.
This post is going to run on a bit so to check it out here you go.
So once we got out of the tunnels and on the tracks we quickly noticed that outside of the Airport it was mostly rice files and “country style” homes.
Now if you ask me even the areas of farm land aren’t secluded and away from it all as it is here in the states. It really seemed like the cities and the farm country ran together there. I am sure there are more remote areas than that off of the train tracks but that’s just how I precieved it.
Well we get into our room at the Courtyard by Marriott in Tokyo and then we took off down to grab some grub. The meals at the hotel were very expensive but we figured hey its our first night in town so lets splurge a bit. This is all for now more on tomorrows post.
