LAX to TOKYO

After the grand tour of the LAX tarmac, we were ready to settle down for our twelve hour flight across the Pacific to Tokyo: (LAX  to NRT on the map)

The plane was full, we sat in the middle section of three seats, and I sat in the middle seat.  My husband on my right and a young man on my left.  The latter fell asleep almost as soon as he sat down and slept all the way across.  Lucky him!  He even missed his evening snack (a turkey brioche sandwich with cream cheese and pesto sauce).  I read my e-book, played some games on my i-pod, read some more, played mahjong on my tablet, read some more, on and on.   I think I did eventually cat nap but I don't think it was for very long.  There was also a lot of turbulence on the flight. About three hours out of Tokyo, the plane starts to wake up with the morning routines: a wonderfully warm cloth towel to freshen up, orange juice, and a choice of breakfast.  We had the option of Japanese( grilled salmon and steamed rice) or western breakfast (scrambled egg with back bacon, sausage, and potatoes.)  The following website is a good one for seeing what the food looked like and the choices available:

I watched a movie while I ate my breakfast and the time went by a little faster.  "Fire with Fire" was a pretty good movie.  That made the time go by faster.  Before I knew it, we were on the ground.
