EIGHT announcements of delays before canceling my first flight.
THREE HOURS on the tarmac before canceling the second.
NO COMPENSATION other than a meal voucher that's barely enough to buy a snack box in the terminal, and a 10% off hotel coupon that I COULD NOT USE because every hotel in the area was full
Bonus, web site that screwed up the reservation that I tried to make (and didn't have a space to put in the discount code???)

Extra bonus, SENT ME A SURVEY WHILE I WAS STILL STUCK AT THE AIRPORT.

Bite me.

I should really write up a multi-bajillion-part trip report about my trip to Japan. However, I am still absolutely exhausted, so I will leave you with a few snippets for now:

* Japanese toilets are really, REALLY strange.
* I hope I never see another buffet again for a really long time.
* Tokyo Banana is made of win.
* I drank a LOT of coffee on the trip. Some of my colleagues would probably say TOO much.

There were 14 of us in the group; 7 from this building, 5 from a random assortment of offices from around the US, 1 from Canada, and 1 from Argentina. I didn't even know half of these offices existed.
( I should have been practicing my conversational Spanish for this trip. Who knew? )

Tune in next time for further adventures and short-lived sporting careers.

Made it home from Japan. Bags are unpacked, but a major stuff-all-over-the-bed warning is still in effect.

Also, I (heart) the international date line. I got home before I left! (On the down side, it's now Monday *again*.)

Shower time, more updates will appear soon in a completely random manner.

(edited to add: It was a complete blast. But I'm way too tired to convey my true enthusiasm right now.)
