Tes and I are in Tokyo

The flight overall wasn't bad. Tesla was the BEST. Didn't cry, and took 3 long naps. She flirted with the people around us. Seriously, she's such a good baby. But even though she slept on the plane, she was incredibly tired when we arrived. And for those who know Tokyo, it's a whole other journey to get into town from Narita airport. So on the train into the city, Tesla's eyes were droopy with fatigue but she was too stimulated to sleep. Poor thing. And I'm very tired too since I couldn't sleep at all as I was constantly checking her to make sure she was OK throughout the flight.

I won't complain though; when we were deplaning, I spotted a mom with a toddler and a newborn...all by herself! I'm in awe of that mommy's strength.

I usually take ANA, but took United this time - the food sucked . I was surprised at how bad it was. No individual movie monitors. And worst of all - which almost made me balk at taking the flight - was that my reservation was screwed up so I almost didn't have a bassinet. It all turned out well - a very nice flight attendant got me a fold up one, and I was able to put Tesla in it on the floor by my feet. And because it was on the floor, it was darker for Tesla so I think she slept better that way.

It was so cute when she would waken, staring up at me from the floor. Most times I'd let her stay down there for a bit, and she would talk to herself, play with the seat belt I let hang over.

Today - Monday - I stayed at my parents' to recover from the trip, and give Tesla time to adjust. Tomorrow I go to work. Luckily, it's unusually warm so it's very pleasant so far. Unfortunately, I'm beginning to fight a cold. I'm also bummed that I won't have time to hang with friends because after work, instead of going out like I always used to, I want to come straight home to be with Tesla. However, it's sure nice to be here!
