The Land Down Under: Day 21

We flew from Sydney to Tokyo on ANA, which is one of our favorite airlines! We've always been impressed with the quality of their service and this flight was no exception. It was a nine-hour flight, during which time both of us slept quite a bit, and we arrived in Tokyo at 5:00 am. We've still got quite a way to go between here and home, so it was nice to get some decent rest! We're connecting through here, so we had to take a shuttle from the international terminal where we landed to the international terminal we are leaving from, which took about 20 minutes, and since then, we've just been enjoying the airport!

Had we had more available time to travel this summer, we not only would have gone to New Zealand, but we definitely would have spent some time in Tokyo because we absolutely love Japan! Unfortunately, it's just a five-hour layover, but that was still plenty of time to stop by the 7-Eleven in the terminal before heading to the lounge for a few hours prior to our flight!


bag drop was quick and painless!

the airport lounge in Sydney was
super quiet with really good food

we sat in premium economy to get the
2-3-2 configuration

we will miss Australia, but we have
missed Avalanche so much and we're
beyond excited to see him!

dinner on the flight included pasta primavera,
salad, fruit, a roll, and then ice cream for dessert

the shuttle between terminals
at the Haneda airport

this shuttle is so much better than
the Dulles people mover
LOL
(I still love Dulles as far as airports go!)

there were two other passengers on the shuttle with us
and the four of us had to follow this lady as she
escorted us to the security checkpoint

Japan is wonderful!

the 7-Elevens in Japan are fantastic - 
even the ones in the airport!

you can't buy happiness, but you can
buy egg salad sandwiches from 7-Eleven in Japan
and that's pretty much the same thing!

the ANA lounge at the Haneda airport
is very nice, although quite busy
(you can't really tell in this pic,
but trust me, it was busy!)


Happy Tails to you!
