JAPAN TRIP

May 6-19, 2016

Departed Seattle at 12:10 on 10 hour Delta flight nonstop to Tokyo (Narita airport).  At the airport I was met by an OAT rep who gave me a ticket for the airport shuttle to T-CAT(Tokyo City Air Terminal).  Then I took a taxi to the hotel.  The taxi had lace seat covers and the drive wore white gloves.

I was met at the hotel by our trip leader Akiko.  Tokyo time is 16 hours ahead of Seattle, but I went to bed early as I'd been up a long time by then.  The room was small by US standards, but adequate with many amenities, including an air cleaner (which I later discovered was in every hotel room we stayed in).

The 634 meter Tokyo Skytree is the tallest tower in Japan. The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for Kanto region.
