So I arrived in Tokyo after a 10,000 hour flight and another couple hour train ride, tired, but not so hungry, since they did feed us twice on the flight. I gave over my luggage to a guy in the airport who is supposed to have the bulk of it delivered to Sapporo a day or so before I arrive there. This is an awesome service, assuming that it works, and in principle seems like the best way to deal with all your luggage when you arrive in Japan. (Look for the "Baggage Delivery" signs in the arrivals lounge at Narita). So with my newly lightened load, I headed off to find my hotel room, which is costing me about $30 a night. The place is nice, comfy, relatively convenient (though not in the heart of Tokyo), but the room is small. Really small. Like 5.5x8 foot small. Still, you can't beat the price and it's a comfy bed. I'll post a picture when I get access to a computer with a card reader.

Here's the pic, finally

Glad you made it to Japan safely...by which I mean AC's surly flight attendants didn't make you want to jump from the plane. Question about posting pics to blogger: Couldn't you just find a hotspot and use your laptop? BTW, Kardi's on DNTO today.
Glad to hear you made it! We all complain about AC stewardesses but I've see the real evil when it comes to shotty service and its name is Alitalia. Picture a steward spilling a drink on a passenger and just shrugging it off without an apology like it wasn't his fault or that the passenger could have prevented it. Or how about having cups littering the cabin. The stewardesses solution? Just run over them with the drink cart.
Holy crap! How the hell could you find that comfortable? Although, I think its about the same size as the sunfire....
Well hopefully, Julie, you won:t be sleeping in the Sunfire any time soon.
Finally I get to read yoour blog, and share your adventure! Yeah... the room looed pretty exciting! I can't wait until my turn to HK...
