It has been 1 week already! Part 1

As of today, I have been here in Japan for 1 week! So in honor of that, So here is the first installment of the 1st week's recap.

1st Day(s): Sunday, June 22nd and Monday, June 23rd, 2008

On Sunday, June 22nd, I woke up at 4 am to get ready for my 8 am flight to Honolulu. When I got to Seatac at 6 am, I checked in for my flight and went through security with no problems. I then looked around Seatac before getting on my flight. on board my flight, I had the front exit row seat that had 4 ft of leg room, even when the flight staff were sitting in their jump seats. the flight staff on this flight were also really helpful and were a joy to have.

Then I arrived in Honolulu after being on a plane for 5 hours with 3 hours before my next flight, so I walked around the airport and got a bite to eat before I boarded the flight to Kansai International Airport in Osaka. On this flight, I had an exit row seat over the wing of a 747! it also had a jump seat in front of it, but with less leg room. I fell asleep right after takeoff for about an hour. When I woke up, the were starting to serve the first meal of two on a 8 hour flight. This was a great meal and took photos of it. After the meal, I went to sleep again for 30 minutes. When I woke up, I had a sore neck that kept getting worse as I sat in my seat to the point that it was unbearable, then I finally asked for some pain medicine. After that, it didn't hurt for the rest of the flight. They had the movie " 27 dresses" playing. Then they served our 2nd meal. And a hour after the 2nd meal, we were on final approach.

I arrived 1 hour earlier than I should have! Going through customs was fast and easy since I was 1 of 5 people who were not Japanese nationals on my flight. When I got to baggage claim, my bag was one of the first ones out. :) I did have to wait for Chrissy to pick me up (due to being 1 hour early). She showed up 45 minutes after I had landed and she was surprised to see me waiting for her already. We then caught the next bus to Nishinomiya (were Chrissy and Rex
live in Osaka). The bus ride took about an hour to get to our stop ( it was an express bus too) and i took some pictures a long the way too. We then walked about a mile to Chrissy and Rex's apartment. After I got settled in, we had dinner and talked for a while. And after we talked for a while, I finally went to bed after being up for 26 hours!
