At the airport about to go for a long and well earned break. 

Tomorrow’s sushi is going to be so good   

And yes I have a list of pedals to look for. And maybe one of those new Starmasters, though probably not

What’s really worry my wife is Ishibashi in Shibuya currently has a wall of tastefully-yellowed white LP Customs…

Cool! Enjoy. Probably a bit too early for sakura? We'll be going late this year (Autumn colours, we hope).

Kawaii+Caffeine overdose for the missus?

If so, treat her at Cafe Reissue: https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/restaurants/reissue

We got on the plane. 

They closed the doors. 

We all taxied a bit. 

Now we’re back at the gate…

What happened?

I'm guessing JAL44...

(I guessed wrong.  Wrong plane, wrong airport, wrong country !)

@Emp_Fab i wish it was a 350! 

EY800 from AUH - due out at 2200 but it’s 2253 and the cockpit door is still open. 

“Document issue” apparently, which Google tells me is probably code for a change in flight plan at the last minute, and they’re adding fuel, so that seems to check out. Hopefully we’ll be in the air within 30 more mins, not least because I really wanna sleep!

This aircraft is bound for Narita!!! 

Woohooooooo!!!!

Emp_Fab

In that case, it's an Etihad Boeing 777-300ER, registration A6-ETH, delivered 15th Sept 2011.

...and THIS is the actual aircraft

Your departure time is now estimated to be 23:28.
