Flight Home

The flight home was extremely long. We had to get up at 3:30 in the morning to try to avoid getting held up by the new security regulations at the airport. Then we flew to Tokyo for about 6 hours, had a 2 hour layover, and then another 9 hour flight home, with someone snoring as loud as possible all the way home. That meant that I didn't get any sleep (or barely any).

When I got out of the airport in SFO, there was a news crew waiting for people to talk about their experiences with the new security checks. Ours was actually pretty smooth. Being as tired as I was, of course I obliged and apparently I got on the news sometime that day. I don't remember the channel and didn't see it myself, but a few people have pinged me and let me know that they saw me on TV. That was the highlight of the trip home I think.
