Holy JetLag Batman!
Well, I am back in the grind after an awesome whirlwind tour of Tokyo and the surrounds. I must say, it was an amazing trip. Details and pictures to follow in the coming days--I need to deal with the dozens of voicemails and emails and mail mails that have accumulated over the past 9 days. And my body needs to recover from the abuse of the trip. It is not quite 9am, I have been awake for 4 hours after getting 4 hours sleep, I am starving for dinner, and ready for bed. Ah, it's good to be home!

Welcome back, RF. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Check out the "First Annual X5World Meet" thread. Maybe you can caravan down with some of the northeastern folks who are coming down. Hope to see you there.

Juan

Wow..hats off to ya'..I dont think I could ever do that again..Delayed?! Man..unless you go "upstairs" to eat your face off, there aint too many things to do at Narita...Theres always Mickey D's of course...

Dont you just love the immigration line(s)?! Like 30 of them -- and if there IS a line, it goes extremely fast..In the US, they create a completely separate Homeland Security Dept for these guys and there are still TWO immigration reps at Raleigh-Durham and many other very busy airports.. 8 hour plane ride, and then wait in line for 3...

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest...

Agreed. There were 3 lines opened at Newark last night. There were 20 lines at Narita. Security was a breeze there as well.
