Off to Japan

I'm heading out to Japan today for 2 weeks. I promised Noah to post updates on my trip here, so I'll try to do so.

The good news is that we're flying business class for free using frequent flyer miles.

The bad news is we're connecting in Atlanta (instead of Detroit or Chicago) and have a 5-hour layover. In terms of hours (27 hours) it might be my longest transit to Japan yet.

With the advance in portable electronic devices like laptops and ipods though, I think extended plane rides have gotten considerably easier. Now if every international flight offered wireless internet, things won't be so bad at all!
