I am on the non-infamous Delta flight 166 from Narita to Seattle on which nothing of consequence happened.... except I got a Bailey's Irish Cream because it had the word cream in it and I thought I might like it.

It's good!

I watched Christopher Robin movie which was cute. I considered watching _Bohemian Rhapsody_ again but my first viewing last month or so caused the music to rattle around in my head for weeks afterward, and it is even back now as I write about it.

I started _Green Book_, but did not finish it because it got going too slowly.

Was going to watch episodes of _The Good Place_ but the only have the first 8 episodes of season 3, and not the (spoiler) last few episodes of season 3. I watched episode 1 of season 30(!!) of the Simpsons. Amazing the same voice actors are doing the characters.

Okay back to sleep for a bit because it is 5am. I think I will stay awake after I wake up, which should be around 7am Seattle time.

In preparation for this trip, I started my packing list a few weeks ago.

I had planned to copy it here, but for now, just imagine it.

I pre-packed most of the list a couple days ago, getting down to computer, phone, and other stuff I could not pack because I use it daily.

This morning I woke up early, and repacked everything, doublechecking the list, and taking pictures of all of it, in some kind of just in case scenario that will not happen.

This morning Lin drove me to the old man skin clinic to get a bit of cream for my leg, and then met me at the Narita-bound Limousine Bus stop at Shin Yurigaoka station.

We enjoyed lunch at Ootoya then hopped on the noon bus, which arrived in Narita by 2pm. So sweet of Lin to come with me! We snuggled and laughed in the back of the bus, then wandered around Narita for a bit after I exchanged 10k and 20k yen for 105 CAD and 175 USD, respectively (plus a bit of yen change).

We got soft serve ice cream and then wondered at all the shops in the airport.

Sat down for about 30 minutes for more snuggles and then finally time to say adieu. After going through customs, I called Lin through Line and waved bye to Lin looking down through the glass as I stayed in place, walking up the down-escalator until someone else came. (Almost no one in line at security / customs.)

I got a quick pass for my new passport so I can whiz through immigration in Japan until 2023.

Now I am at the gate, just a few minutes before boarding begins.
