One day after US trip... I have no jet lug... thank God!
Since this trip went over weekend, I am (surely!) entitled to have compensated off, which I took for today.
Well, still business trip to Osaka for another meeting with client is scheduled tomorrow... I should get ready materially and mentally... so I worked a bit (more than a "bit" for sure).
Plus, month-end administrative work was additionally piled up before me. Oh boy!
Ralph Lauren's jacket... Am not big fan of it... but this was really good... in terms of price and size.
My client told me that this is really fitting to me.
Wine and sparkling wine are usual at home... now different addition - Maker's Mark.
Since making a trip to the factory, I picked up a bottle for myself and MoonFlower at the Duty Free in Detroit.
This is 1 liter bottle... bigger than one in distribution in Japan... which is 750 ml.
Well, let's see how long this takes us to bottom up. Hahaha.

US Day#13: Delta Flight 275

Man, who really expected all this?
Flight - Delta 275 from Detroit for Narita... had significant delay, which was 3.5 hours delay.
Originally announcement said, "Aircraft no power."
So new battery installed.
Then, "Inspection didn't pass after new battery."
After a while, "another parts needed. So parts is now taken from other aircraft for this flight."
This means that there is no new spare parts and had to compromise to used one? Obviously so.
Oh boy.
in Detroit time, originally departure time was 3:25pm.
Announcement said, we had to wait until 8pm. Gee.
Well, turned out to be a bit shorter... the flight took off at 7pm.
You know, this portion of Delta used to be Northwest... or aka North Worst.
I can see why not many Japanese were taking this flight, particularly business people.
This flight - Narita with continuation to Taiwan... 50% of passengers are Taiwanese. Probably 20% Japanese, and remaining for others.
So flight arrived at Narita at 10pm.
My usual bus service is done for day and JR is also gone.
I had to take Keisei Line train...
Keisei Koiwa Station didn't have any tax stop and there was NO TAXI there, either!!!
Man, I had to walk around to seek a taxi for ride... in the middle of night.
Thank God, I found one.
I came home after midnight... surely it was long day!!!
