Day 1 - The first day was was a non-stop flight from DFW to Tokyo. I left snowy north Texas at 12:15PM on the 13th and landed in Japan at 4:43PM on the 14th. The seats were a little cramped, finally became an issue somewhere over the Alluetian Islands. I sat next to a school teacher from Chile who was on her way to Hanoi for vacation.

Arrived in Tokyo Narita airport and stayed the night at the Nikko Narita. Nice place with small rooms; just a bed and a bathroom. I was able to get one arm in the night gown on the bed. I didn't fit in the slippers either. The little fellows must look cute in this outfit.
