Day 2: <\/strong>This day started before the sun was up. We had to catch a flight from SLC to Seattle at 7am. That means getting up and being to the airport by 5am. Once we landed in Seattle we had a couple of hours to kill before our flight to Tokyo took off. Corey was hungry so we walked around the airport and found Beechers Handmade cheese. I remember from Preston’s choir trip that there was a place in Pike’s Place Market that Preston said the mac and cheese was the best thing about his trip. It’s the same place only they have a shop in the airport too! So Corey ordered a mac and cheese and we waited for our next flight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once our plane took off for Tokyo they pretty much started serving us food from the time we got in the air until we landed. It’s an over nine hour flight so I was feeling pretty stuffed by the time we landed. It’s funny how much they offer you to drink and then you watch as the line for the bathroom would get super long. I wasn’t falling for that trick and only had a drink when I needed one. I only had to use the small bathroom on the plane once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3:<\/strong> At some point, because of the international date line, day 2 morphed into day 3. All I know is we took off on Monday at 11:30am and landed on Tuesday at 12:30pm. I was only able to sleep for about an hour on the plane. This means when I normally would be going to bed at home it’s the middle of the next day in Tokyo. Even though all I wanted to do was sleep Corey and I made sure we stayed awake until 9:00pm in Tokyo. My brain has stopped working and I feel like I’m in a hazy fog. Hopefully by staying awake we can sleep through the night and feel great tomorrow. It’s been a long day. I’ve had some really yummy ramen and we rode the Big O in Tokyo which gave us a wonderful view of the Tokyo skyline. Our hotel room is comically small. The bathroom is about as big as the one on the plane. This was expected and it doesn’t really matter to us because we don’t plan on spending too much time at the hotel. Well time to get some shut eye so we can explore more of Tokyo tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
