1.5 hr delay. On a plane. Power going on and off. To deplane? Or not to deplane? That is the question. The answer: no deplane but sit for 3 hours. Cool.
It’s easy to get frustrated.
And I did.
The Virgo planner in me, had a car service picking us up – at a certain time – that I couldn’t cancel. We were meeting people in Tokyo. F#€K.
It was then I remembered … I’m going to Tokyo … chill and control what you can control.
So I booked a new car service, leaving the original service for our travel companions, Ashley and David. Which, had a hiccup or 2, but thanks to Google Translate and the fact that Ashley has the patience of a Buddhist monk and doesn’t get rattled by much, they made it to the hotel, ON TIME.
3 hours later and on very little sleep, we arrived in Tokyo.
We got in our car at 6pm (3am cst). Our flight was at 6am the day before. We’ve been awake for almost 24 hours. I slept maybe 3 hours total today. Lucky for me, that’s not too far off from normal life, but traveling hits different.
I’m currently, typing this from the backseat of a sprinter van, while we drive in the rain through Tokyo. What. Is. Life!?
Sleep will come fast tonight. Then tomorrow, I’ll rise with the sun.
