I was retracting the handle to my roller-luggage and my pinky-finger got caught in something. Fortunately, I quickly looked at my finger and saw that i hadn’t broken the skin. Phew!<\/p>\n

But then I noticed the underside of my flesh filling up with blood (which appears more brown under the skin). Now I’ve got this nasty blood blister. Let’s see, when I went to Europe last summer I was getting over that bizarre rash so the skin on my hands was shedding the whole time. Now I’m off to Asia with a nasty brown pinky.<\/p>\n

I think I should wear protective gloves the week before any vacations from now on.<\/p>\n

Anyway, at this time tomorrow I should be in Chicago (actually, O’Hare Airport) during the lay-over before finishing the journey to Tokyo. Luckily, Randy is a premiere American Airlines member so we’ll have access to the special lounge reserved for high-falootin’ freaking travellers during that nearly 3 hour wait.<\/p>\n

Thirteen and a half hours after that (ugh) I’ll be descending into Narita Airport outside Tokyo. And\u00a0four to five\u00a0hours after that I’ll be arriving via bullet train (170 miles per hour) in Kyoto.<\/p>\n

…and less than\u00a0three seconds after that I’ll be asleep – dead to the world. I suspect that I won’t start enjoying Japan until at least Monday. Late Monday.<\/p>\n

I don’t think I’ll have internet access for the first few days there. But I should be able to start blogging on Wednesday when I reunite wtih Randy and have the opportunity to download some photos from my camera.<\/p>\n
