Welp, this is going to be a shortish entry today was all about travel.

I got up around 8am or so and ventured down and got redressed in the dressing room and discovered a small alcove where we could plug in and go online and check email etc, so I did that. While I was doing that B snuk up behind me and joined me it had to be close to 9am at this point and we decided to go get breakfast.

After negotiating to leave our bags at the Capsule Inn while we bumbled around for a bit we struck out for a simple American style breakfast at McDonald's. Yeah I know. Anyways, after a happily uneventful breakfast we decided to go see what we could find out about where to catch the Airport Shuttle. I had the thought that we could look for other hotels in the area and maybe just schlep our bags there and be done with it. B thought we should just try to get our selves and bags to our first Hotel and catch it from there.

Welp we did both. We went in search of a decent sized hotel and found one. Te Airport shuttle didn't stop there of course but they did have a nifty English Timetable for it. Turns out we would have to go back to the Intercontinental ANA and schlep our bags all the way back through the subways. So we got back to the Capsule Inn after coming up with a plan of attack and I set about transferring all my gear and clothes from my now shot original suitcase to a nice brandy new one I picked up the night before.

Then it was off to the subways and back to Asakusa to catch the shuttle.

Welp, we got there 11:50 and our schedule said the next was leaving at 12:10,  so I stopped in 7-11 again and got a soda and Kabob. Then went straight to the ANA and went upstairs. Didn't see B asked and was told to go downstairs. Looking at my watch it said 12:05, Doh! Time to hightail it down there, found B in complex negotiations regarding buying tickets, whether we were guests of the hotel, whether there would be room on the shuttle, and whether or not the shuttle actually went where we wanted it to go.

It all turned ok and we caught it at the scheduled time of 12:30. Sigh.

From there it was a nice relaxing drive back to the Airport, where we got to deal with the difficulties in using pay phones to call the states, and finding where the Hotel shuttle was going to be. Oh and I got to run into a suicide booth smoking station again.
  
Well, then we caught the hotel shuttle from the airport to the next hotel and checked in. Nice enough place but after the actual rooms we ad been in recently it was a bit squalid. No worries, up to the room drop off our shit and then look for food.

The hotel had a restaurant called la'Florida and we got a coupla burgers. When
I asked for bacon I got the surprising “No.” Hmm... ok. So no bacon cheeseburger for me. The food wasn't bad though and then it was back to the room to chill. I crashed out and so did B. This morning has been about yelling at cellphone companies at home for me, and stealing Bibles for B. In a few hours we head back to the airport for the third time this trip and then a nice long flight home.

I'm gonna miss this place. Japan and Tokyo not the Holiday Inn Tobu Narita.
