What was the flight like?







Our flight to Tokyo from San Francisco was about 9 hours.  I met some new JFMF teachers who were embedded in the center of the plane with me.  The seat in front of each passenger had a screen that showed a map.  The map showed the progress of the plane, the air speed, air temperature, and altitude.  We could switch channels and watch movies throughout the flight. Many passengers slept, and the cabin was darkened for most of the flight. Several teachers were already studying maps and making plans for the free day. 

I had no problems with jetlag when I arrived in Tokyo.  I slept fine and felt great. One of the most euphoric times for me was walking through the Narita airport, realizing I was really in Japan!!
