So I'm sitting in the TINIEST excuse of a hotel room EVAH. XD But it has free internet. I am mildly happy.
So my flight was out of Cleveland at 10:40am Saturday, we got to Chicago a little ahead of time, bonus. We were supposed to take off at maybe 12:12pm central time, but we had to taxi for a while. As it turned out, the plane was 85%~ booked when I purchased our tickets, so we couldn't get seats then, and had to wait til we checked in. Lo and behold, our seats weren't together. Thankfully, the guy next to Lorraine was sitting by himself, so he was kind enough to switch. It was one of those large planes with two aisles, 9 seats across. I was on the aisle, but not quite near a window. There were tv screens in the seats in front of us, showing a few different movies (Pride & Prejudice, Elizabethtown, Fever Pitch, Walk The Line, etc) and also a nice map of where the plane had flown so far, various statistics and such. They served us snack mix, then a lunch of carrot cake, fruit, salad with ham, then either chicken stir fry with rice, or salsbury steak with potatoes. Then a snack of kitsune ramen (ramen with deep fried tofu). Then a dinner of fruit, raspberry jam shortbread cookies, and either cheese ravioli in maranara sauce or some beef something. Not too bad.
Got through customs just fine, found our luggage okay. Called the hotel to ask if they had a shuttle service, alas no, so we just bit it and got a taxi. Sooo expensive, like 17000 yen, but we were so tired we didn't care. It was so much more convenient than taking trains and subways and finding our barely marked hotel amidst all of the chaos that got even our taxi driver lost. Yeah. And yeah, our hotel room is ridiculously small, there's like a double bed, a tiny desk, and a tiny bathroom. For another 17000 yen total for two nights. I'm so tired, I just want to sleep, I'll worry about the free breakfast in the morning. Right now it's a little before 8pm local time, but neither of us feel like exploring. We'll think about that tomorrow.
...Just got off the phone with Summer <3 yay, luvs ya chickie :D Gonna try meeting up with her for lunch, after checking out Osaka Castle in the morning.
