The pace of posting will slow

Seattle airport is under construction.  I wonder if I'll ever take a trip where none of the airports are under construction.

I had to get a documents check before boarding.  Then, while I was downloading the required tracking apps for when I quarantine, I was called to board.  It took all of 5 minutes to get everyone (and I mean everyone) on the plane.  Let's say there's plenty of room in the overhead compartments.  Getting situated took longer.  I think we'll leave early.

I plan to make it an enjoyable 10.5 hour flight.  For the longest time I thought Japan is 12 hours ahead of Michigan.  It's 13.  Still, not horrible.  And, bonus, the review session I'll hold for my 211 students won't require me getting up at 4 am to be functional.
