Killin time before the flight

---

We ended up staying at the Hilton in Narita... about $70 a person and free shuttle. Wasn't too bad, a lot more "western" style then the one in Tokyo. Thanks to Aaron's Hilton membership we got to check out at 3pm instead of 11, which is great since today's flight doesn't leave until 9:20pm. The place here has an amazingly nice lobby and the one lounge had live jazz music here (just poked my head in). Rooms themselves are decent, but nothing that special. Tiny TV. The flight to Honolulu is about 7 hours we figure, and hopefully can check out the island a bit.. none of us have ever been there before. The flight to Minneapolis is almost as long, and the layover there will be epic in length. Not sure how far the Mall of America is from the airport but might be worth checking out too. Maybe catch the Transformers movie or something there. Would be nice if we can find free internet but last time I was there we couldn't. Gotta find something to do for 15 hours.

Key at this point for me is to just keep everything cheap. Thankfully McDonalds here is crazy cheap, and the convenience store in the hotel here has small yogurts and riceballs for cheap. Once we're on North American soil I'll feel a bit better I think.

Can't upload any pictures yet, the internet is too flakey and have to hurry since the other guys here have to check their email too. Total trip time I think is about 35 hours, should be an adventure. If I get internet in one of the airports might do another update if there's something worth writing about.
