Dead tired but cheerful as there is blue sky and sunshine here in Japan :) I've only been away from Canada for 11 or so hours, but so far I've discovered:
1. Lara bars make it through customs (woot!)
2. I am an amazing packer. Sleeping bag, Lara bar and toothbrush have made this extended day much more enjoyable!
3. There is no such thing as gluten free, dairy free meals on Japan airlines
4. The JAL staff are really nice :)
Three hours into my flight I discovered there was no meal I could eat (even though flight centre requested this, it actually doesn't exist) the nice JAL staff scrounged up everything they could find for me to eat. I had a bowl of rice, fruit, and two jars of baby food- one apple sauce and one unknown vegetable - two bowls of "salad" aka lettuce and carrot from a bag with no dressing and and unknown fish type patty from a vacuum sealed bag lol. So far I'm still alive lol. They were so apologetic about it and when I got off the flight there was a man from JAL waiting for me with a sign with my name on it. He worked with me to figure out how to ensure I had food to eat on my next flight and my return one in April :)
Anyhow, I'm off in search of rice noodles and will leave you with this lovely picture of the multi-functional toilets here in the airport:
Love the blog. You've been gone less than 24 hours but already I have Travel Envy!
