Sardines, yum

Well we’ve officially arrived inTokyo!  What a LONG flight,  oh my goodness!  I must say that Singpore Airlines, thus far, has been amazing!  The attendants are friendly and the level of services is outstanding!  We had two full meals that were more food than we could even eat, with appetizer with fresh salmon or tuna, and Japanese Chicken curry which was delish (Mr. G’s, as anyone who knows me knows I’m not anadventurous eater) and a huge portion of roasted beef, sautéed veggies, andspicy mashed potatoes, amazing! Yes, for all you upcoming traveling moms, I did take pics, but have no idea how to load them onto the iPad, so those will come later.

Singapore Air was not only the least expensive option that didn’t require a Sunday overnight stay, but now I understand why my travel agent said go for Singapore!

Now for the not so fun part, spending 11+ hours in a massive flying brick!  The seats in economy are very typical for any other airline despite being a plane that was just released on Aug 1st.  Sardines, anyone?  However being the charmer he is, Mr. Gearhead was able to get us moved from our travel agent’s seat choices (window seat, but I think these planes were not designed for people taller than 5’5!), and now has us sitting in the upper deck and in the exit row by ourselves, no neighbors! Go hubby!

And lastly, after all the hype and talk we heard about the Tokyo airport being super techy, that has yet to be seen.  No toilets that talk to you, like our son said might happen (thanks to Disney Pixar’s Cars)!  But, the restroom stalls are about the size of our first house’s master! LOL

Now, after meeting a really sweet couple from LA on their way for a little RandR in Bali, we are off to do a bit of shopping for the babies!
