On flight CX171 to Perth. 7 hour flight. Air is dry; toe skin is cracked and painful. Sinuses clogged; head hurts; keep getting woken up by two women speaking loudly in a language I don’t understand.

Safely in Honkers, and just waiting for my flight, scheduled to leave in 70 minutes. Is it normal to not have a gate listed yet? Hmmm.

14:53

I just overheard the answer from an airport employee:

“Oh! Too early. Long time. Because long time no boarding gate.”

15:14

At 3pm (2pm local time) the gate was listed: 71.

Walking past all the shops and stuff from gate 44 area to gate 71, I realized I feel hungry. Then I realized I have no local currency. D’oh!

We took off ten minutes early, and I’ve just had a nice nap. Got several neat pictures on the way up, but I wonder if I’ll ever post them.

Gonna work on date difference calculator.

in-flight breakfast!

ps: I’m nearly done with proof of concept of my days old counter, but I have just discovered the dateDiff library I snagged doesn’t allow dates from the 1800s. Do I care? Hmmmm.

I cared enough to make it handle dates from 1700 to 2599. https://github.com/thunderrabbit/javascript-days-old-counter/commits/master/js/rDateDiff.min.js

Awake now; headed down to breaky.

Breakfast was lots of veggies for me and a larger variety for Lin. The restaurant had a Pepper robot in front, but it wouldn’t follow me when I beckoned it. It faced me, but didn’t come with me.

Gotta pack and bounce outta here.

07:53 Wednesday 12 October 2016 JST

I’m the first person in the departure lounge!

The bus was pretty much full: full sized, and full of people. Plus there was another bus which left at the same time. Plenty of travelers woke up early in that hotel.

headed to airport

23:37 Tuesday 11 October 2016 JST

Lin is driving me to Narita airport because my check-in time is 7:25 tomorrow, and there are no trains that leave early enough to make it on time (if I leave from our house tomorrow).

We’re going to stay in a hotel (rar) and after she drops me off at the airport tomorrow, she plans to go back to the hotel to enjoy their onsen, buffet breakfast, etc, before checking out.

00:48 Wednesday 12 October 2016 JST

Safely at the hotel and time to give Lin a massage.

01:20 Wednesday 12 October 2016 JST

Done. Now working on days old page of website.

Actually about to take a shower; I’m past the too tired to program well stage.

Actually I’m at the “should I take a shower” stage.

01:34 Wednesday 12 October 2016 JST

Just took a shower.

panic pack

17:51 Monday 10 October 2016 JST

Oh man I’m leaving tomorrow! Today is a holiday so I thought it was Sunday and I’d be leaving in 2 days, but I’m leaving in about 24 hours, after a day of work, during which I’m supposed to buy some stuff for the trip. D’oh!
