July 1 was an incredibly long day for me. In fact, it officially lasted a grand total of 37 hours. My plane took off of the island of Bali just after midnight to start the new day and brought me to a 1/3-day of siteseeing in Japan during a far-too-brief layover in Narita. In between navigating several public transport options and eating some amazing sushi we were able to get lots of locals off the ground as seen here. Monika, my great friend from SF, just happened to be flying back from Bali at the same time as me and also had the same layover so I had the joy of gallivanting around the city with her. She’s the gorgeous one in between all of the school boys.
You can see more photos from this day soon on my Flickr stream (when I get around to putting them up). You can see the link to it at the bottom left corner of this page.
After Narita I flew another 10 hours to San Francisco and crossed the dateline back into a second round of July 1. Another (fun!) six hour layover in SF, then on to Texas via a quick pit stop in ABQ. An hour drive from the airport put me at my dad’s house at 11:55pm in time to spend the last five minutes winding down the 37 hour day.
