22 hours on the dot door to door. Ami was pretty uninterested in the giant bag o’ toys I brought for her amusement, but was into the screens. She didn’t fall asleep until 10 hours into our 13.5 hour flight from Dallas to Tokyo, so, uh, that was fun? (Maze in the DFW international terminal….

Have I overpacked the carry on?
Well! Well. Well well? Well?! This is big, guys. Wednesday the three of us get on a plane to go to… JAPAN. This is Logan’s and my first time visiting, and Ami’s first time out of the country. The DFW-NRT leg of our flight will be the longest single flight we’ve ever taken (13.5 hours),…
Life is for the living
Well. I’m feeling a need for this outlet again! And it’s because life has bloomed and exploded and grown in ways that have been, at times, hard to synthesize. Or maybe it’s because I got an email that my domain here would expire unless I paid $26, and I don’t want to feel like that…

And we’re off!
Happy Thanksgiving, America! Cats aren’t coming with is for this trip.

No, the title is not a metaphor. This is actually about balance. I was returning the rental car this morning (I had one yesterday so I could run errands all over town without an enormous car2go bill) and ended up behind this. Impressive, right? It’s not every day that you see a truck piled quite…
Southwest
Just boarded my Southwest flight, which is on a brand new 737-800. The plane is SWEET and the contrast with last week’s American Airlines flight couldn’t be more stark. Checking my bag was free, the boarding process has been swift and sensible, we’re going to leave on time, and the plane is, dare I say…
It’s almost impossible to be any further back.
Stupid airplane. Stupid American Airlines. Stupid TSA staff at Austin Bergstrom not having all security lanes open so it took us forever to get through security and we arrived at our gate with only moments to spare. Stupid back of the plane. Stupid lack of coffee or breakfast. Oh, Logan will be happy to sit…
