Team “departing from Osaka”, Risa and I.

北米ツアー2019いよいよ始まった!全行程48日間。今回は、アメリカン航空LAL共同運航便使用で、伊丹空港からスタート。元々乗降客に対して空港が狭いし、夏休みという事もあり混んでた。チェックイン後、ランチ。我々の飛行機の乗り場に近い北ウイングが工事中なので、南ウイングまで行き、定食屋さんへ。鯖の煮付けおいしい。

North American Tour 2019 has started!

Total dates are 48 days. It’s very long for us. We used American Airlines from Osaka-Itami airport this time. The airport is smaller than the number of travelers and was crowded. After check in, we went to eat lunch at south wing because our closest shoppers at North wing was under construction. I had seasoned boiled mackerel. Yum.

時間があまりなかったので、サクサクと食べて手荷物検査を通って乗り場へ。羽田まで約50分のフライト。

We didn’t have enough time and ate it quickly. Then we went to the gate through the security. 50 min flight to Tokyo-Haneda.

羽田には、少し遅れて到着。国内線ターミナルから国際線ターミナルまで、バス移動。ゲートまで歩いてたら、私らの名前がコールされた。バタバタ走って乗り場へ。でも、乗るべき飛行機の到着が遅れてて、出発時刻も少し遅くなるとの事。カウンターに名乗り出たら、座席をアップグレードしますって言われた。遅延のせいでオーバーブッキングが出たのか?それとも?

Arrived at Haneda with a little delay and took a free shuttle from the domestic terminal to the international. Our names were called when we walked to the gate and rushed to the counter. Our flight was delayed a bit. I told my name to the counter and they changed our boarding passes from economy seats to premium economy seats. They said nothing about the reason. Was overbooking happening or?

羽田。Tokyo Haneda airport.

アメニティー。Amenities.

定刻より少し遅れて無事羽田を後にロサンゼルスへ。エコノミーは、一列10席だけど、ここは一列8席。アメニティーも付いてる。機内食も陶器に入ってる。

A little delayed but we could depart Haneda safely. Regular economy seats are 10 seats in the same row but ours were 8. Amenities were provided. Flight meal was served in pottery wear but plastic.

1回目機内食。The first flight meal.

席はアップグレードされたものの、私の席の液晶画面がずーっとloading のままで動かなかった。乗務員さんに10回言って10回リセットしてもらったけど最後まで映らないまま。退屈〜。寝るしか無い?!

My seat was upgraded but my screen was out of order. It says “loading ” all through the flight. I told to flight attendants 10 times to reset it but the machine didn’t work. So boring. I had no choice but sleep?!

スクーリーンは、最初から最後までlosdingのまま。

My screen was loading all through the flight.

2度目の機内食は焼きそば。

The second meal was fried noodles.

定刻より少し早くロサンゼルス国際空港着。スロープ式のタラップを降りてバスでターミナルへ。

Landing at LAX a little earlier than the schedule and using slope ramp, we went to the terminal by bus.

国際線ターミナルじゃなくて、ターミナル4に着いた。通路にはロサンゼルスを表現したレトロな?!壁画。

We arrived at not Tom Bradley International Terminal but Terminal 4. There were retro drawings on the walk way.

その後、Uber のアプリを1年ぶりに立ち上げて、Uber タクシーに乗車し、あつこ宅へ。ちなみにLyft のアプリはエラーが出て使えなかった。

After that, I opened Uber application first time after a year, we took a ride to Atsuko’s house. I couldn’t open Lyft.

無事あつこ宅に到着。荷物整理しつつ、お昼ご飯に他人丼を作ってもらい、食べたらまた荷物の仕分け。晩御飯はトマトソースペンネを作ってもらい、就寝。

Arrived at Atsuko’s house safely and I sorted my luggage. Ate Tanin-don served by her for lunch, sort my luggage again. She made tomato sauce penne for us for dinner. Then went to bed.
