Made it to the airport

It was a little surreal riding the taxi to the airport this morning.  Right now I'm sitting in the entry lobby because they need to security check my luggage, but that won't happen until 10:00. So, 3 minutes.  My bags are heavy.  One is overweight by a bit, but I don't care.  I'm not moving things around at this point.

I see the attendant is scanning my luggage now.  Hopefully it all goes well.  I didn't load any items that are dangerous or explosive or anything like that.  Just a lot of things.

My luggage isn't being checked through, but my long time in Haneda means I should not have to worry about it.  There will be ample opportunity to collect my bags, transfer to the international terminal, check in at the Delta counter, and get through security.

Thao stopped by early in the morning.  Like around 8 or so.  Then Susan, Takashi, Hachiro, and Yuko came by.  It was good to see them all one last time.  Rather, one last time until I can return or they come to the States.
