Trip to New York
So, Tuesday I left the hotel in Tokyo at approx. 1 p.m. to take the bus to the airport. Plane left at 5 p.m. and was I dreading the 12 hour flight to Toronto. What a flight!
Got into Toronto on time. Damn, had to go pick up my luggage and go through US customers, meaning had to fill out all these forms. How I hate this. Went through US customs, same old questions, what do you do, how long are you staying, you signing any contracts, …etc.
So by the time I got through had to actually run to my gate to catch the connection to N.Y. Thankfully I made it on time. Just another quick hop and I would be in N.Y.
Hadn’t been in N.Y. since 1985 so was actually looking forward to visiting again. When we flew in, we actually flew directly over “Ground Zero”. It was a weird feeling after having seen 911 on TV and following reports on this tragic day, especially as the plane went absolutely quiet and everyone was looking out their windows. What a sight!
Quick cab ride form the airport to hotel. Quick check in and then off to a party. The next two nights were the worst ever. After having traveed the world on numerous occassions I can clearly say that this has been my worst ever jet-lag! Do NOT fly from Asia to the US East Coast. A nightmare. I haven’t had a decent nights sleep since arriving here in N.Y.
