“To get away from one’s working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one’s self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change.” – Charles Horton Cooley
The plane was super comfortable- i.e.,if any plane could be on a 14 hour flight. Arrived at the Shangri-la Hotel which occupies the top 11 floors of the Marinouchi Trust Bldg. Remember, in Tokyo there is not much room so everything is built vertically. Jet lag kicking in, I was up at 3:30 am but not as bad as usual. Kids are much more immune to jet lag. That being said, what must one do to pacify an 9 year old girl after a 14 hour flight? ....Disney of course. And not just any Disney. Tokyo is the only place that has a Disney Sea as well as a Disneyland. One tip....in Tokyo the best place to stay is near the Tokyo Station....my hotel has an entrance from inside the station and from this station anything in Japan is easily accessible. Enjoy the pics. PS: my hotel has a view of the Imperial Gardens but a real bummer that the cherry blossom bloom has already finished and most trees are now green from their beautiful pinkish lavender.
