Homecoming - Dallas/Fort Worth

Flight was super long. Had Taco Bell. So-so. Still sick, so I can't taste much. Ears are totally blocked up from descent as usual. Got Benadryl and Big Red. Got hat. Feeling pretty comfortable now...maybe good seat or meds. Culture shock is low. Really irritable some time ago, but met some nice folks, so okay. Two other dudes in Dallas airport with mowhawks. Jet lag seems minimal or absent at this point.

Homecoming - 東京 (Tokyo)

Landed in Tokyo. Checked in. 39 minutes 'till take off. Thirsty, but no ¥. Not terribly tired. Want shower. Really not happy about next travel leg.

Homecoming - 인천/서울 (Incheon/Seoul) to 東京 (Tokyo)

Big line at airport. Luggage is heavy. Will have to check in at every stop. Will have to transfer luggage in Dallas. Finally got to ride in double-decker plane. Right ear won't pop. Why half the time do I catch a cold before I fly? Can't taste anything yet.

Minutes later...

The onboard monitor is showing live camera footage of the ground from the belly of the plane...cool!
