It was quite a hilarious (scary) journey . First, Alan left his manbag in the Sydney Uber(including passort): retreived. Then I realised I had left my phone in the room : retreived. We shuttled to the airport (no incidents) for an early checkin at ANA. Discussed that we had to have the compression equipment at Hanada airport in the layover and established that they had booked us for wheelchairs!! LOL. Al missed out picking up both our handbags at the baggage check: retreived. ANA business was sensational with equally sensational japanese cuisiene. We both had good sleep with legs elevated on the two 9 hour legs. Onto these teeny tiny wheel chairs (LOL) and it was straight through USAcustoms ( I even had my Rotary kangaroo badge prominently displayed thank you Ingrid) with not one question. Then to the pre-paid black Uber. Except they said it was not pre-paid and it cost $265 to get to the hotel : not retreived. OMG. It was a long way to the Line Hotel but not that long. So moral of the story is that we are not travel ready as we have been. Just ourselves sorted and ready to greet Meg.
