I'm writing from the Dallas airport right now. I left Austin this morning at 6:45AM (after sleeping at 1AM and waking up at 4:30AM) and my flight out of here is in another hour or so. I had to give myself extra time in the Dallas airport in order for the wonderfully efficient folks in US immigration to allow me to "exit" legally. But that's a different story.
I'm flying from Dallas to Narita (Tokyo, Japan), and then on to Beijing. From Beijing I'll be taking a limo to Tianjin which will be my final destination thank goodness. I've flown a lot but never over the Pacific and never over the international date line. I live Dallas at noon on the 15th and get to Japan at 3PM on the 16th!!! It's a 13 hour flight but I lose more than 24 hours! Can I get a refund please?
I plan to blog somewhat regularly during my two weeks of travel. Hope to post some pics along the way as well. I get to go to the beach in China over the weekend before 4th of July. My ex-boss is posted in China and his team is going via train to this beach town (that is supposedly and coincidentally the town where Tsing Tao beer is brewed). I figured it would be a great way to see the countryside and mingle with the Chinese team over there. We'll see if my "vision" of this trip matches up to the "reality".
More later. From Texas, we'll see all y'all later.
