The journey began
My journey to Japan as a camp adventure counselor/leader began on June 7, 2008 when I boarded a flight with Delta airlines from Tallahassee, Florida at 7:15 am. My plane took off to Altanta, Georgia where I boarded the final plane to Narita airport in Tokyo, Japan. I actually really enjoyed my 14 hour flight! I met two of my fellow camp adventure counselors and an interesting plane buddy on this flight. Of course the majority of the passengers on the airplane were Japanese, but to my suprise, there were a few African Americans, Hispanics, Phillipino and White passengers. I had my own personal television as well as a plethora of movies, sitcoms, music and games. The flight attendants served me numerous times and my favorite meal was the japanese noodles (I can't remember the name) They were cold thin noodles sprinkled with black seeds. On the side of the noodles was a liquidy dipping sauce that was so deliscious and it was a mixture of ginger, onion, etc. Overall the plane ride was very relaxing (probably because I slept for most of the ride), but I felt like the sun never went down! Jet lag kicked in hard when in I landed in Japan. I arrived in Tokyo around 1:00 pm and besides making a phone call to my grandma, meeting a few new faces and reading a few signs, all I can remember doing was sleeping!

Hey Naajiya,
I am very happy to hear that you arrived safely in Japan. Please bring me back a NICE souvenir (preferably a traditional bag, dress/shirt).
