JAL was worth it

We were so pleased with the courteous  service on Japan Airlines.   From check in they accommodated my request to sit together.   The exit row was great,   no one blocking us, wide seats, flip up monitor and delicious food.  My usual pocketbook for reading  was put aside. Being short I'm not able to see the monitor so always pass on the movie; reading instead. Having my own screen I  caught up with missed episodes of Bones and NCIS all the way across the Pacific. Yippeee.
Arriving at Narita with no other international flights was terrific.  No lines in immigration,  customs or limo bus to city.  All in all was a very relaxing flight and arrival.

Packing for Tokyo

October means fall, means changes in weather  and not knowing to pack warm clothes or lightweight summer stuff.  I'm not talking fashion, I mean comfortable.   Guess it's layers, for under as well as over.  Most important are my shoes.  Tokyo is a major walking city.  Packing my Joya shoes and sandals.  Wearing Fitflops knit loafer on the plane.  With age, have noticed my feet swell during flight.  My husband confessed to the same.  Also for him, jeans in stretch denim is a must.

Two tickets to Tokyo

Finally going on vacation, after two years of not leaving the island.  Replacing original stove, dryer and refrigerator kinda kept us home bound.
After much procrastination,  bought tickets on JAL.  Next stop TOKYO!  Four years between visits!  Meeting up with friends, looking forward to sightseeing,  eating and shopping.
