We arrived at the Seattle Airport at 5 am (thanks, Lela!) and waited
to get on the military contracted flight to Okinawa. The smiley
counter lady at Northwest told us that we had business class tickets.
We aren't sure why, but the seats were great. They were the first
seats on the 747 with lots of room in front of us. Aslan could have
joined us there. We sat up there with what appeared to be officers,
not that enlisted riff-raff in the economy hull. I feared that if
trouble went down, I'd be asked to lead the troops. I'd right flank
around the plane and pounce for a surprise hail-Mary attack for bags
of peanuts and bland coffee.
Currently, we are at a stopover at an air force base in Tokyo. It's 4
pm local time, but our time is almost 11 pm. That's a long time to be
on the road. We were able to let Aslan out of her cage and run here
around for a little bit. She met other friends whose owners were
inconsiderate and sadistic enough to force her in a cage for 12
hours. She was spry and wiggly, as usual.
We should arrive at the base in four hours. Then, we'll have rest.

We're sad to see you guys leave already. Please say hello to Danielson and chop some ice blocks in half for me. Oh, and please bring back one of those drum paddle thingies next time you're in town. Sianora.
I've searched all day yesterday for any signs of Daniel LaRusso, but no luck. I even looked for bars that allow one to bet on breaking ice slabs, and still nothing. I'm starting to think that Karate Kid II wasn't as true as it felt.
