So who did we find at the gate area in narita to board our flight too? Helen and Jerry!

The JAL first class seats are amazing. Lie flat and very comfortable. We are all unconscious as soon as the plane took off. Too bad the flight was only 1 1/2 hr. That was the best sleep ever.

George and I are staying at the crowne plaza as I am trying to build up my IHG points, and we got a good deal. They have a free shuttle, but we were too tired to wait for it. Short taxi ride got us there quickly. Room is adequate size, very clen with comfortable beds. Of course, I am now up at 5 am though and trying to be quiet to let George sleep.
