Flights were uneventful, which is always a good thing. Watched Water for Elephants and ate lots of snacks. Toblerone...yummy! Had to take a taxi to the hotel to transport our 7 checked bags, plus 2 carry-ons. Thirty minute cab ride ran us (really Boeing) over $200 USD. Yikes! Nicest cab I have ever been in though. Immaculately clean with perfectly white crocheted seat covers with little ruffles. He also wore white driving gloves!
Checked in at Marriott Associa Nagoya hotel and our room is very spacious. We'll see if I still think so 2 or 3 weeks from now. Still no word on the progress of our lease, but I hope it won't be more than a few weeks. I am anxious to move in and decorate.
First thing I love about Japan. Washlets, which are very high tech toilet seats. You can turn on a seat warmer --very cozy. They also have buttons for 'shower' and 'bidet', not sure what the difference is between those two. HOwever, last night, after 14 hours of traveling, bleary eyed Gary, thought he was pressing 'flush', but instead made a fountain in our bathroom! At least it was clean water that sprayed all over and he did react quickly and closed the lid to minimize the puddle on the floor. ; )
I just finished reading Water For Elephants last night! Great book. Glad to know you made it safely and can't wait to try out those tolite seats :) ALSO, can you believe JP won on the Bachelorette?? Team Ben!
