Arrived at the Hotel Miyako Inn

No Comments »

Ok, just a couple of lines before I head out for some lunch. Arrived about an hour ago. My room is on the 9th floor and really really good – I got both cabled and wireless connection, a large LCD TV, 2x120cm beds and the best; an electronic toilet seat with a heating, bidet and ass washing features :-D

Signing out – lunch.


On my way to LAX

P1020399

The flight from EWR was only half an hour delayed – nothing compared to yesterday’s “delay & stay-over at the Sheraton” marathon (no pun intended). The food served on board is *not impressive; we got a tray with warm Egg & Cheese biscuit, a small muffin, a non-fat Yogurt (A product that really should be called “Yogurt” – no fat – and wheat starch added, yuck!) and a small tray of fruit. I also managed to spill 2/3 of my glass of Coke, luckily my blanked caught most of it.

I managed to download some music before I boarded the plane, so now I’m listening to Stéphane Pompougnac, Thievery Corp. and Bonobo – way better than the crappy sound on the Onboard Entertainment System (or at least, with the supplied headsets that really sucks).

We’re currently flying over Missouri and I’m impressed by the never-ending sight of rectangular farm lands.

The picture is taken out the window from my seat 11F (same as yesterdays flight – right next to the right engine and noisy as hell…)


Eating breakfast at the “au bon pain” @EWR

Ok, got up at 0450AM local time, took a shower and packed my stuff. Left for EWR at 0530AM and here I am eating breakfast at a French-inspired baguette shop. Ate a multi-grain baguette with roast beef & basil pesto – it was not bad, but not great either (I’m really no early breakfast man after all).

Downed a bottle of Nesquik chocolate milk and am now finishing a Odwalla Super Protein drink. My flight for LAX leaves at 0815AM and go to gate will probably start in about 30 minutes.

I’ve brought a camera and my new computer got a SD card reader but I haven’t taken any photos yet – that will have to change!
