We arrived safely and on time after a pleasant trip across the wide Pacific Ocean, but Gisele’s suitcase did not. My bag was one of the first ones on the carousel, but in place of Gisele’s bag was a big sign asking us to contact airport personnel.

It turned out that the bag hadn’t made it on to the plane out of Tokyo, for unknown reasons. It would not arrive for another 24 hours.

I always pack a change of clothes in my carry on bag, and Gisele usually does too, but she neglected to this trip. After arriving at our hotel she went out to the night market and bought something clean to wear.

Otherwise everything is fine. Devon is doing fine, and we met his girlfriend of a year for the first time. Devon is off on the high speed train to the southern town of Tainan for a modeling job today, while Gisele and I are continuing to fight jet lag and rest.
