We just finished breakfast, fried rice with Teriyaki pork--not too painful. After the attendants took our plates John and I stood next to our row for about 20 minutes waiting for the line to the bathroom to diminish, but it seemed like 30 seconds before someone would exit the lavatory another person (closer to the bathrooms) would stand up and get in line, which made it never-ending. Besides, we should arrive in Tokyo in 35 minutes. I have predicted for myself that the next time I get to use the restroom will be on the plane connecting my flight from Tokyo to Beijing because we are scheduled to land at 4:34 pm (local Tokyo time) and we are to begin boarding for my connection at 5:10 pm--I just felt the plane slow--I hope I don't have to go in and out of customs before I board for Beijing, which is another 3 hours away.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that when I checked in at the gate in Detroit I first asked how much it would cost to upgrade to business class...only $4000.00! Can you believe that; how can people afford to fly? Then I inquired about getting an aisle seat but they were all booked, she did however find a seat for me which was closer to the front of the plane: from 60-E to 38-E, a great improvement if I say so myself.
