Now if you have ever seen the movie The Hangover, I think you can imagine how this day started. After sleeping only about 5 hours both of us were awake, feeling as you can imagine, bright eyed and bushy tailed. We drank an ungodly amount last night. It was arguably the most fun day and night id had my whole trip. Me and Hannah woke up feeling way to good, we went and got breakfast at the lounge. As always it was great, I really do love Japanese scrambled eggs on rice.
I think it was on the way back down from the lounge when we both realized we were totally still drunk from the night before. The headache I had in that moment could split a mountain. We were dying from here out, we went back to the room, called and got late check out and went back to bed. From several more hours being horizontal, we were feeling still woefully unprepared to embark on the 1.5 hour journey to the airport.
Well we did it with a little more swearing than normal, a few dry heaves and only a tiny argument. We had a wee bit of a hassle with checking our bags, as we bought these wizard robes that weighed like 2 kgs each. There was a bit of emergency rummaging, and a bunch of gratitude to past me who packed a spare plastic bag incase we needed to board with anything to make weight. We almost just wore the robes in the airport. From there we decided to get sushi, It was the last chance to stuff ourselves before flying home.
Well let me say, I never trust airport food. Ever. Its never very good and its always really expensive. Well all other airport food is not in Japan. We had arguably the best sushi of the trip in the airport, waiting for our flight. It wasn’t that expensive and it was just so bleeding good.
After our sushi we went and waited for the flight, it went off without a hitch. Hannah found us some ice cream in a pouch, that was weird, but good, but very weird. Sucking ice cream? That is just plain weird. Hannah hates flying and was asleep for most of the flight back, I on the other hand can never sleep well after I’ve been drinking. I slept for like an hour on our 8 hour flight back. We arrived at just after 9 am in Vancouver, on the same day we left. Man the past sucks, I liked going into the future.
We got home no problem from the airport.
What a trip.
