There is seldom much interesting about getting from one point in the world to another, and this is particularly true if you are flying. Still, trips have to begin somewhere and ours is beginning today at the Bradley Terminal at LAX. Our flight leaves a little after noon, a few minutes from now. It will be twelve hours long, but as we cross the international date line we will not arrive until 4:30 in the afternoon tomorrow. The next post will be from Tokyo.
