Takeoffs and Landings

G left for Tokyo this morning, and according to the airline's website, his plane landed about 30 minutes ago! I am excited, nervous, and a little worried. I'm hoping things go well. He had a list of tasks he had to check off even before he left the airport. I am hoping to hear from him soon and am sure I will feel better once I do.

I'll be leaving for Tokyo in about 30 hours and I am really hoping that everything goes according to plan. A lot of things have to go right; G is supposed to meet me at the Tokyo airport. And Tokyo Narita is one crazy airport. The worst part is that I won't be able to contact him when I arrive and he won't be able to contact me either.

He is planning on renting a phone, but if he is unable to contact me prior to my departure, I won't know the number (and do payphones exist in airports anymore?). I remember using a payphone at Gatwick Airport in London a few years ago to tell them the flight had been delayed and my connecting flight in the US had been bumped. But that was 5 years ago. I admit I have a million negative worry thoughts floating around my head: "What if he's late?", "What if my plane is late/early and he doesn't know?", "What if he gets lost on the way to the airport or the train breaks down?"

Although I have a few more things I really should check off the to do list tonight, I think I will go watch Lost in Translation and go to bed.
