Goodbye Japan, it's been an awesome day!
Oh joy, only 11 hours to go haha.
The little starter.
Some fruit and yogurt as the other starter.
An omelet, beef tenderloin (I think) and some potatoes. Pretty good.
What I saw when I woke up.
Pre-arrival meal, some chicken and a chocolate tart.
12 hours later, we have arrived in Detroit. The sun I saw rise in Tokyo hasn't risen here yet!

After landing in Detroit I had to proceed through customs which was easy. They did choose me for extra screening since I was only gone for a day but they understood and I was back in the airport in no time.
Inside McNamara, still one of my favorite airports.

I was a little angry with what happened on this flight. Only people that fly nonrev will understand, but they cleared the other 5 standbys on the list (below me) in aisles and windows in Economy Comfort, yet I was in a center in standard Economy. I wasn't in the mood so I didn't argue. I slept this entire flight to pass the time so there isn't much to tell.
Boarding gate for Tampa.
The A320 I was on to Tampa.
3 days and 15,000 miles later, I'm back where I started.
Overall, I'd say the trip was a successful one. I'd definitely do something similar in the future. Anyone that's never been to Tokyo, I highly suggest you find time or money to go, I can already tell it's a great city and there's tons to do there, and I was only there for 14 hours. Hope you guys enjoyed this report. Next time I go somewhere new I'll be doing the same thing.
