Day 1

Party girl and boy of yesterday are a couple of party poopers tonight. After a 3:15 unexpected wake up call - we're exhausted. I made good use of the time to solve Saturday's Suduko, take a few things out of the suitcase, and run a mental list of what I still need to pack. Sorry, I really don't know how to pack light; I always want a few options. Back to bed at 5am and was able to sleep in till 7am. There was plenty of time to finish up the last minute details - trash, dishes, changing sheets and breakfast before closing the suitcases and heading to the airport with COATS! Haven't done that in ages! Flew to DCA, transferred to an airport hotel close to IAD, and dang, it was COLD! Early dinner and a few minutes of SNL 40th before crashing. It's going to be a long flight tomorrow... ANA, to NRT, lay over then on to PEK, and ready for the next chapter.
