Here We Go Again

It's Day 1 and aside from my own personal feelings about flying long distances, I don't think things could have possibly gone any better.  That being said let me just say that it would be my luck to be the only person in the world who didn't know that if you check-in online with ANA you can in fact get in another line at Honolulu airport and bypass a bagillion people.  Note to self: Utilize this service in the future.

We flew from Honolulu to Narita, rode a bus from Narita to Haneda, and then flew from Haneda to Matsuyama here in Ehime.  The highlights of my day on the plane were probably meeting a lovely lady from Australia whose husband was the pilot; and the 4 movies I watched on the plane ride over.  It was about half way through when I got hit with excitement and actually watched an entire Japanese Movie called Shiawase-Pan, or Happy Bread.  It was basically about the different ways a couple bread to make others happy...very Japanese.

Aurora is my partner in crime here and we've already been received very well by some of our leadership here and a fellow intern.  They helped me work through some language problems with my air conditioner and hook me up to the internet...which is in my room, which is a bomb room just so you know and I will post pictures once I set everything up.  Tomorrow is a big day and it's 2230, so I should probably get to sleep.  I just didn't want to start off on the wrong foot by skipping a blog.

By the way, there was a Japanese lady on one of my flights that brought her ipu heke with her on board.  I think that's a sign this is going to be a good summer.
