Then we road the train to the airport. We were supposed to get on the express but ended up getting on the wrong train. It still went to the airport but made a bunch of stops. We were fine, plenty of time.
Loaded up and off we went.
The flight went smoothly. We ate and watched movies and slept. Back in the US, we went through immigration and a machine took our photos. Mark and Merril's were the absolute best.
Merril left us with the luggage to go get the car and we got flagged by a Immigration Dog and had to go in a separate and much slower line. I was given a banana on the flight and put it in my backpack. I'm not supposed to bring fresh fruit into America. That was silly of me, if I had left it on the plane, I would've been fine. We finally got through and met up with Merril. Someone had keyed out car while it was in the parking garage and that was a bit of a bummer. Oh well.
First matter of business when back in the US, CHEESEBURGERS!!!!
Observations about Japan: Vending machines are EVERYWHERE! Cold drinks and hot drinks could be had on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere because there would be a vending machine. CC Lemon was our favorite drink, a lot like Sprite. I got a few hot chocolates. It came in an aluminum can, but warm. I don't like true Japanese food as much as I like Japanese/American food. It's very fishy. Toilet seat technology is far superior in Japan than in America. Seriously America, get with it! I want a heated toilet seat! Everyone was super polite to us. I loved the bowing and the way they indicate direction with an open palm, Vanna White style. Fantastic adventure. Shota was an amazing tour guide!
