Hi Folks,
This is still in some flux, note the addition of a talk at the Beijing Institute of Education and modifications of the Japan itinerary. Some additional changes in Japan should be expected.
Darlene asks about ANA's meal plan. I'm confident we'll be fed a couple of times during our long flight to Tokyo. With luck we'll have a choice of meals. I'm hoping for Japanese options. Nari, our travel consultant ranks ANA food above JAL's. Since we'll be at LAX for an eternity, it might be wise to bring or plan to purchase some food. Be sure to drink a lot of water on the plane.
