24.5 hours and I'm here.
1.5 hours spent waiting for flight at Hartsfield-Jackson airport. 2 hours flight time to Chicago. 1.5 hours spent wandering around O'hare airport. (That airport is looking really nice by the way; lot's of light and vaulted iron walkways. Makes ATL look like a dump for 70's decor. It has a really trippy travel-through-time-ish light tunnel that connects one concourse to another.) 12.5 hours flight time to Tokyo. 1.5 hours spent wandering around Tokyo-Narita. Am feeling REALLY out of it by now. I buy a key chain. 4 hours flight time to Hong Kong. 1.5 hours spent getting through immigration, getting bags, taking the Airport Express train to Hong Kong Central Station, getting a cab to the JW Marriot.
It's 1:02 AM and I'm all sorts of out-of-it. I don't have any really interesting observations or reports on my trip thus far. Except that once you fly across the pacific, there are 747 jets everywhere. Maybe even more so than the standard jets we're used to in the US. For some reason, when I see a 747, I have the impression of a giant sky shark. Must be the big fin. There are giant sky sharks everywhere here.
I am a long way from home.
