i feel airplane ugly
how i spent 11 hours in the sky from san francisco > tokyo
Hi!!
I’m writing to you from a hotel bed in Tokyo right now. It’s 6pm and I just took a boiling hot shower after trekking around the city for 11 hours straight in orthopedic potato shoes and a pack mule crossbody tote. My partner is out on a nighttime photography blitz, and once he’s done we’re going to get burgers at one of those delightfully kitschy Americana-themed diners with pinup girl posters and Coca-Cola signs on the walls.
Anyways. It feels mind-blowingly euphoric to be horizontal in sweatpants (how I have missed these sedentary American pastimes). I also knew I would miss writing, so I brought my laptop even though there’s very little downtime for it.
More travel newsletters to come after I return, but I wanted to kick it off with my “flight log” from SFO to Narita airport because The Flight There totally sets the tone for a trip, doesn’t it??
Come fly across the Pacific Ocean with me.
