We're going to Japan next week, and our plan is to arrive at the airport two hours before our flight leaves. We don't have to do the Customs thing til we arrive in Tokyo anyway.

The last time I flew, I was going to MS, and my flight was scheduled to leave at 6:05am. I arrived at the airport at 5:30 am, checked my bags at the curb, stopped at the bathroom on the way to the gate and STILL had to wait at least 10 minutes before they started loading the plane.

That's the closest I've ever shaved it though. I'd been giving myself at least an hour the last few times I'd flown because those TSA folks have been on the lookout for fifty-something fat women who must be terrorizing the skies. I'd been searched and even frisked the last four times I'd flown! This last time, no one even bothered to check my backpack. I guess the portable tape player and air cleaner didn't register as suspicious. ;o)

When will you be home? Will you be internetless while you are there?
