Well yesterday was interesting, up at 6:00am for a flight out of tokyo… Got to the airport with about 1.5 hours before our flight left.. check in was a breeze so we went down and did some duty free shopping… then decided to line up at McDonalds for some breakfast.. mistake number 1…

The line took forever and by the time we’d finished eating our plane would have started boarding 10mins prior… but wasn’t suppose to leave for 30mins so we figured we were alright… so on our way to the flight quickly popped in to a news agent to try get ride of my last few yen… Ryan walked ahead and by the time I followed I saw him running back with the most panic’d look on his face, closely followed by a short Japanese woman…

Apparently he’d noticed on the board the flight was closing, and at the same time saw this woman holding up a sign running around with our flight number on it.. hahah! So we piss bolted from one corner of the airport to the other and the japanese woman played tag with another woman along the way who ran the rest of the distance yelling in to a walkie talkie..

So we made that flight but were the last two on board I think… then 12 hours 50 mins on that flight! Wasn’t as bad as it could have been we had a front row with room to stretch the legs…

By the time we landed in Zurich (Switzerland) though our connecting flight had been cancelled due to poor weather in London… we lined up thinking we’d end up spending a night or something and the guy before us at the counter was in the same situation and was bitching about it and didn’t want to end up on a waiting list cause he didn’t have any confidence in them…. We however went straight on a waiting list and while we were at the counter got some seats assigned!!

My little brother came and collected us at the airport and gave us a run down of the tube… although after being awake for 24 hours at the time I don’t know that much sunk in.. hehe

Anyways time to go do some washing… really don’t want to have to start turning dirty jocks inside out.. hahahaha
