Long days…

There are days when it just doesn’t pay to chew through the straps…

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? ARE WE FRIKKIN THERE YET??? Sigh… 2 hours at IAD, then 14.1 IAD-NRT, 1 hour wait, then 3 hour bus ride… That pretty much screwed Saturday and Sunday…

The only good thing was an old friend was the FO on the flight, so we got to chat for a couple of hours and catch up on where folks are today.

And to add insult to injury (literally), I almost got knocked down the stairs in NRT by a bunch of Chinese tourists rushing to beat the crowd to customs. Woke up to a stiff knee and that’s going to be fun, considering I have to walk everywhere for the next four days… sigh…

And of course I’m on the third deck in billeting, with no elevator…

  1. I realize that you like your job and enjoy the travel…but I think that once you live on the beach for about three months that you would never want to go back to it.

  2. Sounds like another exciting day at “the office” for you. My knee hurts just thinking about what fun you’ll have.

  3. Damn ChiCom and their human wave attacks!
    You’d think they’d come up with something better in 65 years.

  4. Well, you can always tune into to Toyko… We had a lieutenant do that to a female rookie. Oy oy Have a marvelous time…hope the knee heals fast.

  5. LL- I retire, if I can’t get there driving, I ain’t going!!!

    WSF/Rev- Thanks!

    Stretch- They have NO concept of politeness…

    Fargo- You and me both. Ladders are NOT fun with a bum knee… Sigh
