Days 13, 14 & 15 - SF -> Narita -> SG

We got up at 6am to make buy sandwiches for the flight, plus clean up the apartment. Threw everything perishable out of the refrigerator, cleared out all the trash, made sure we didn't forget anything... Good thing we got everything into the bins before the cleaners came!

The airport shuttle arrived 10min early at 825am. Luckily we were already slowing carrying the bags down the stairs to the curb.

It was surprisingly quick customs clearance at SFO. So much that we were surveyed right at the end of the conveyor belt and we have them an above average rating. :) The flight was like almost 3 hours away, so we shared a pizza, the first one we've had the whole time we were there!

The 11.5 hours flight to Narita was uneventful (which is the best type of flight to have) and the meals we prepared were very useful in helping up adjust back to SG time. There were brie with crackers and strawberries, blackberries, sushi...

We barely had enough time to rush to the connecting flight in Narita, 'cos we had 1 hour to disembark, go through customs, buy food from McDonald's and board the next flight :P Kumxia the Japanese airport efficiency for getting us to the next flight on time!

We got home past 1am, and got in bed after a long shower... zzz...

Kumxia everyone, Tua Tao & Iguana, our North Point friends, our San Carlos friends, our Cupertino friends, PJ from Macy's for Men, the nice customs gentleman at SFO yesterday, the ice-cream guy at Bi-Rite which made a triple-scoop ice-cream cone work, the delicious Katan-ya & Cafe Dolci, Macy's for having great sales, Loehmman's for great treasures, Vitamin Water, Jason Albery at Heavenly for a great snowboard lesson 1, Daniel Rich also at Heavenly for superb snowboard lesson 2, the Chestnut Roastery, Facebook, internet messagaing, Fata... everyone, everything and the weather! for making our trip a good one :)
