Back To the Future!!!

After a trip that took us from leaving Las Vegas, NM at 4:30 a.m. on Oct. 30th, stepping into the Tardis, until we arrived, having gained hours and lost hours and crossing time zones, all very confusing... at Narita International airport at 6:30p.m. Oct. 31st, I am finally conscious enough to catch up with myself! We did our best on the flight to sleep as little as possible, our goal being to arrive at our hotel and sleep through the night, hopefully to trick our bodies out of jetlag. So far it seems to have worked maybe, too soon to tell for sure but we did both sleep a full night from about 9p.m. to 6 a.m.
Apart from a little confusion in LAX (Los Angeles, how about posting a few signs pointing to the international airport?!), our trip went incredibly smoothly! Narita airport was easy to traverse (LOTS of signs and arrows!), our luggage was waiting for us and the friendly airport lady directed us to our waiting hotel shuttle (the last one of the night!).

The Flight- Singapore A380
Hands down the Biggest and most comfortable flight I have ever had!

 

A double decker plane that is so HUGE, it's incredible!  Compared to our first connecting flight that were still equipped with ashtrays! How old was that plane??!

 

We were greeted by very polite stewards/esses with hot towels to refresh ourselves before the plane even took off. I assumed, being such a LARGE plane that it'd really have to get going before take off, but apparently the four huge engines were more than enough and our plane lifted so smoothly that I was surprised to find us airborne!
The rest of the flight was filled with meals, snacks and beverages! Keeping us hydrated on the long flight was clearly a priorty! Since we hadn't had a chance to eat all day before boarding and because I must of had the face of a very hungry person, when I asked the stewardess how long till meal time, she brought me chips and a candybar to hold me over. A little later our first meal was served!  Gary had the seafood tray.

 

 

I chose the Japanese tray.

 

 

Getting bored during the flight wasn't going to be a problem either, each seat came equipped with it's own entertainment center allowing us to follow the flight path, listen to music, watch stuff or play

video games!

Soon we had landed at Narita International Airport and were in Japan!
