Daniel: Monday, July 7: Last Day in Japan
July 7, 2008
As you may or may not know, today is my last day in Japan. We are catching an 11:50 airport bus to Narita airport, from which we will depart on a 3:45 airplane to arrive in Seattle at 8:45 in the morning on the same day. As I write this, it is 9:20. (Mom is coming with me, but is then flying back to Japan. She and Dad will come home on the 28th.)
From Seattle, we will go to Memphis. Once home, we will have less than a day to see our house and our cat, before we leave once again to drive down to Jackson.
I am now looking out over our terrace at the New Otani Hotel and Prudential Financial building which have defined our neighborhood since we arrived. By them are the Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka and the Akasaka Excel Hotel Tokyu. My last view of Japan before I leave is not a spectacular one, but it is one I know I will always remember. Goodbye.
