Narita

The camera was in my carry on and I didn't think to get it out before we started our descent into Narita - so no pictures of the country side as our plane was landing. Sorry folks.

This is the plane I was stuck on for 12 hours next to a very nice little Japanese lady, returning home.

Narita airport is very nice and looks new.

We were welcomed by a sign on the way to customs...

We get down to baggage claim and grabbed a photo with the old couple we talked to while waiting for the flight. She's a talker and I over heard the flight attendants talking about her and how chatty she was.

We rented mobile phones so no one would be stuck on their own and we could talk to the partners and co-workers as needed. We bought Tokyo metro passes to get around town without having to get taxis. We got tickets for the Limousine Bus for easy travel to the hotel, although we had several offers for town car service - they all exceeded what we could reasonably expense to get to the hotel.

We wait around for an hour for our reservations on the bus. I grabbed a drink - and yes - I'm nerdy enough to take a picture of it.

The Limousine Bus was rather posh and comfy - even had a bathroom. The bathroom was a good thing because we all we tired and cranky and had to go despite just having gone before we got on the bus.Next post - the hotel....
