Outside Observation Deck

One of the interesting things in Japan is the squatting toilet. This is one of the options in a public bathroom at the airport, and certainly many other places. We were a little worried about having to use this type of facility.

Fortunately, we managed to find plenty of options we were more familiar with during our vacation!

Tokyo International
We got to look at the airport and Tokyo skyline from a great outside observation deck prior to leaving to board our ANA Boeing 777 for our Flight to San Francisco.

Over The Pacific
We left Tokyo Haneda Airport at about 22:55 on Tuesday October 10, 2023 Local time and flew to the East. We flew several hours in the dark of night, but by about 03:00 on my watch (still on Japan time) is was already bright and sunny again...outside. We kept shades down to keep cabin dark so we could sleep.

AS THE WORLD TURNS... When we left Japan, it was about 09:55 on Monday October 9, 2023 at Home on the east coast of the USA.

Halfway across the ocean, we crossed the International Date Line once again. Now it was Oct 10 in the USA.

We landed at SFO San Francisco International Airport at about 16:20 on Tuesday October 10, 2023 Local time in California. So despite our 9:25 hours flight in the air over the Pacific, we landed in California before we left Japan.

It can be a little confusing at best, keeping it all straight. So, while at SFO, we decided to adjust our watch once again to help keep it all straight. By coincidence, or some other act of nature, in doing so, my watch battery just happened to expire!

Our layover in San Francisco was about 6:55 hours, plus delayed a little more. We left SFO around midnight on Wednesday October 11, 2023 with about a 5:40 hour overnight flight to Boston.

The Trip Home
We flew through the night and approached Boston after the sun had already come up on Wednesday October 11, 2023 in Boston.

A smooth landing at about 07:00 in Boston. Got our luggage ok.

Caught the 08:00 P&B Bus from Logan back to Cape Cod!

 

WELCOME HOME!
