With all of the busyness of unpacking and getting ready for the holidays, I had not yet packed for our trip home! I typically start early and slowly add everything we need to our bags. This time I was looking for our winter gear and throwing stuff into the suitcases the night before we left.
I was so thankful that the taxi showed up on time for our 2:30am departure from home. We arrived at the airport in plenty of time, and the airline was not even open for check-in when we arrived!
The flight was unremarkable, except that it was 6.5 hours long, and the food was bleh. With a quick layover in Japan, we didn’t do much but take advantage of the wi-fi and let everyone know that we made it to Tokyo. Jackson was amazed with the bathroom! Lots of automation in there!
After a 10.5 hour flight, we made it to Chicago. Again, the food was bleh. But the flight was fine. I was excited to have an Italian Beef sandwich while in Chicago, but the airport sandwich left a lot to be desired. We had a long layover here, so we indulged in Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds! We had a few flight delays, and since it was snowing, we had to get ‘de-iced’ before we could take off. Two hours later, (and after 30+ hours of travel) we arrived! It’s good to be ‘home’!
