Getting to Japan was pretty fun but I'm sure you don't really want to read all the hairy details about the plane ride so I'll bust it down into a few bullet points.
- Pat and I didn't actually have an actual ticket for any actual flight
- Pat's mom worked for American Airlines for years so we were on some "no-res" list or whatever Pat calls it
- This means we get to take whatever seats are left over for as cheap as free.
- We had to fly to Texas first because there weren't any seats left on CA to JP flights.
- Two planes leaving to TX at the same time, we would be #s 17 and 18 on either flight's stand by list
- Pat and I choose the correct flight and are rewarded with literally the last two seats on the flight
- The fact that these two seats were next to each other was merely an omen of the fortuitous road ahead
- Five hour lay-over in TX
- Plane isn't nearly as full
- Pat somehow manages to snag us the last two first class seats on the plane

jeff,
pat is really beating you to the punch on posting. i would scold, but since you only have 2 weeks there, i think its better that you're (i'll presume) too busy to post and show us great pictures of all you're seeing and doing. however, that also means that you'll REALLY need to make up for it when you return! :-)
also, i know you've only been gone from Chico like a week, but i miss you! tomorrow is powerhour at ubar and we'll have to do carbombs without you and no dueling pianos of course. anyway, don't fall in love with japan too much because you're needed back in chico!
-katie
