Just so no one worries too much, I wanted to make a quick post to let you all know we arriived in Tokyo safely. It was the longest, most un-leg-roomiest flight of my life, but it was a very smooth ride with little turbulence and TONS of food!
On the plane we had a snack, then a meal of breaded chicken, rice, vegetables, tamagoyaki (sort of a sweet omelet), cold noodles with sauce, some sort of salad, a roll and a little mini Haagen Dasz. Very filling! That was about 2 hours into the flight. Then, about 5 hours later (after I had just told Cinnamon I totally wasn't hungry), we got a sandwich (half turkey and half tuna) and not half an hour later, ANOTHER meal of seafood pasta, vegetables and fruit. Those Japanese sure do know how to keep a girl from going hungry!
Anyway, to keep this from getting too long, it was rainy in Japan when we got here, we've ridden 3 different trains (which I think are totally awesome), gotten lost twice (but not too terribly), relied on the kindness of a few English-speaking strangers and carried 30lbs of carry on luggage all around Tokyo.
But finally, we made it to the house where we're staying! Let me just say our flight got into Tokyo at 1:30pm and we finally made it to our house around 6:30. It was a very long day, so we pretty much crashed immediately. And now it's 9:15am and I'm surprisingly well rested (I know, I know - Persimmon up before noon?!) if incredibly sore, and we'll probably be going out for food and whatnot as soon as our luggage gets delivered.
Sorry there aren't any pictures yet. With all the heavy bags we had yesterday, plus the rain, picture taking was kind of inconvenient. But we'll get to that soon! Hope you all are doing well without us~

I'm glad to hear you got there yeaterday! You couldn't let me know sooner? Do you know I have been worried sick about you girls? But no worry. I didn't sleep or eat, and just kept sitting at my computer hitting refresh over and ove and over. I have a bit of a cramp now, but again that's ok. As long as you are there safe.
Seriously, have a great time. When's the love affair start with the Manga guy? It's on the itinerary right? Just a little motivation to get that going quicker . . . there's a t-shirt in it for ya! Have fun!
Glad you guys arrived without too many problems! Where in Japan are you staying?
[this is good] Glad you had a safe flight, a long one, huh. Enjoy your freedom, take in some scenery, maybe a cafe, ha ha! Enjoy yourselves, good luck in that strange land, I know you'll be fine. Take care.
