It’s a small world after all…<\/p>\n

I’m sitting in the OneWorld club at the Tom Bradley International Airport (TBIT for short). An email message from Shellie asks if I’m in LAX as a mutual friend thinks she sees Kevin the club. Sure enough Mikki and I are both headed to Japan — she’s off to a wedding in Tokyo and I’m off to a marathon in Ktoto before tackling the Tokyo Marathon next weekend.<\/p>\n

The OneWorld lounge is like another dimension. We are able to get seat assignments and in fact the CSR bumps us up to Business Class as a “hey, sorry this day has sucked so far, maybe this will help” gesture. A lounge representative named Yolanda also turns the day around by constantly bringing mimosas. Things are assuredly looking up.<\/p>\n

A few snafus in the plane, all down to me apparently mucking up my Mom’s iPad, but thankfully I’m plied with enough alcohol so that I don’t give a flying fig.<\/p>\n

Courtesy of Mari and a comp’d upgrade to business class, the 12 hour flight to Kansai isn’t too bad. It isn’t too bad at all. Again, the alcohol helps.<\/p>\n
