Well, Saturday night was our annual Euroa Skydivers Reunion.  Lunch, dinner, and plenty of drinks at the Pier Lounge in Altona.  After finishing off at Nick’s, Yarra took me to the airport, for my next journey.

The plane left 10 minutes early, so we started taxi-ing at 11:55pm Saturday night.  I attempted to get some sleep, and after a light breakfast, I landed at Singapore airport, for a 3 hour layover.  As I had the time, I stopped and had a foot massage, to get the blood flowing again after sitting for so long.

I managed to get an hours sleep at the airport, and get some work done.  Finally it was time to fly out to Narita.  I was entertained with Mission: Impossible, and a bit of *trying* to remember what Japanese I had learnt (not much!)  Our first landing approach got aborted, as an outgoing plane had a “medical emergency” so didn’t take off!  Finally we landed.

Immigration was amazing – no other planes had landed, and because I power-walked from the plane, there were only about 10 people in front of me!  So, didn’t take long at all, considering last time I was there it was about a 30 minute wait.  Eventually my bag arrived, and I got through the doors, were Kaoru was waiting for me.

We caught the bus to Terminal 2, as Jack was arriving in about 45 minutes.  Unfortunately his plane was delayed by 40 minutes, and we decided as he had been to Japan before, he knows his way around, so we’d just head to Shinagawa.  So we got on the Narita Express.  After checking in we found Brett, Mark, Ange, Mikiko and Dai-san in the restaurant downstairs, so ate and caught up.

As we left the restaurant, Jack arrived.  So Mikiko, Brett, Kaoru and I kept him company, as we went to a 24 hour restaurant around the corner.  It was one I hadn’t eaten at before, and it’s always good going somewhere new.  But as we had all done a bit of travelling, we were ready to call it a night.
