Flying is a pain in the butt!

Well I'm here in Detroit, overnighting before flying to Manchester NH tomorrow. If tomorrow is anything like today was I will commit mass murder...

My Day...

Wake up 4:30 am get dressed, haul bags downstairs, check out. Get on flight to Tokyo...sleep Zzzz...

Get to Tokyo, wait an hour before I can check luggage...do nothing, watch the people milling around like lost cows...

Finally check in...only to find out that my luggage is 1.5 kg and 3 kg over. If its less than 2 kg over you pay 3000 yen extra...if it is more you pay 22,000 per kg... ... ... not impressed... so I take out some heavy stuff and go through the security AGAIN...pay the airline an extra 6000 yen...vampires...

Send package via air...I NEED my dvds

Eat breakfast finally...just make it too McDs before they close the B-fast menu...

Shop, realize I have no money...stop shopping

Go through immigration, find out that I was ONE day late leaving the country...get sent to immigration, you know where the send the illegal immigrants...spend ~1 hour apologizing, explaining, being really nervous...pay 4000 yen for extension of 15 days...I'm surrounded by vampires....

Get on plane...have asile seat *thank you Dad* but sit next to smelly Chinese guy who keeps poking me with his elbows...the plane was full of Chinese, a lot of them with crying babies, very little english skills...leave a little late because they wouldn't listen to the Flight attendants...

Fly to Michigan...try to sleep but fail...keep failing...keep failing...finally fall asleep... ... ... get woken up for B-fast...

Get off plane, go through immigration...forget to speak English...immigration guy looks at me kinda funny

Get bags...half rip off one of the handles of the black bag...

Go to hotel...sleep for four hours...

Wake up...hungry...order pasta...forget, yet again, that I'm not currently in Japan and have to pay the nice delivery boy tips...when he knocks on the door respond "Hai!"... ... ...give really measly tip...

That has been my day today...so much fun <-- *sarcasm*
