With my flight coming up in less than a week (woo-hoo!) my mind is turning to practical matters. Do I have enough underwear? Will these shoes last the year? How many gifts should I bring, anyway?
My favorite piece of luggage is my carry-on bag. To and from San Francisco it carried ceramics… stressful to say the least. Not this time, though. The essentials will still be there–ibuprofen, my laptop, chapstick. The rest of the space is for me. Me! I already bought some puzzle magazines and have my knitting planned. You can bet my DS will be fully charged.
I’m going to use some of the space for a change of clothes. I read this idea online somewhere and it makes me wonder why I didn’t think of it myself. Board the plane in nice but security friendly clothes. Clothes you’ll feel good getting off the plane in. Personally this means clothes that won’t embarrass me in Tokyo. Once you reach cruising altitude excuse yourself to the lav and change into something comfortable for the long flight–say a sweatshirt and track pants. Bring a pair of fuzzy slipper socks to keep your feet warm and comfy. Fly 13 hours in comfort. Then, maybe an hour before landing, change back. Brush your teeth. Freshen up. Arrive feeling a whole lot better than you might have otherwise.
Every single plane trip I’ve been on has been a long haul, be it cross-country or cross-globe. But this will be the first time that I will have my own tv on a flight. I am so so excited. You have no idea. I’ve scoured ANA’s website, drooling over the lists of movies and shows I can watch. One of my Japanese quiz shows is on there! That Japanese movie that won the foreign film Oscar!
If I have trouble hearing (who am I kidding, I always do) I can play games! Lots of games! I dare say I might be kept occupied for most of the trip.
The food looks pretty good, too. They even have a little snack bar you can go to whenever you get the munchies. And the first meal? Unagi-don, or a BBQ eel rice bowl. My favorite!
I’m thinking this flight is going to rock.
