Woke up at our friends (and neighbours) Jeff & Kathy’s, had a quick breakfast of English muffins and crumpets. Must try to make crumpets when we return to Canada! Got to the airport by 8.30am, which was perfect. First flight 10 minutes delayed, still had plenty of time to get lunch and line up for the second flight. The girls split a burger and a poutine which cost about two arms and one leg, and Joe and I ate horribly disappointing “banh mis” from the Banh Stop. Grateful that there are authentic ones in our future!
Thank goodness for family priority boarding! Got settled into our long flight smoothly, with the four middle seats to ourselves. It was a long and smooth flight, for the most part, with short and light sprinkles of turbulence just outside Russia before we reaching Japan. Joe, Téa and Maylin were all able to get some rest on the plane, Maylin sleeping the longest. Téa skipped breakfast to avoid throwing up on landing, but with Kids Gravol in her system had an uneventful flight, even if nauseous.
