Just about to land in Burlington… and I am so glad to be almost home ! I left my hotel in Sapporo at about 9am ‘this’ morning and am about to land about 26 hours later . I know that may sound terrible.. but I always enjoy my time in the air . It’s peaceful and timeless to me.

I actually got back to the IS and hour earlier than i took off from Tokyo due to the magic of time zones .

The hardest part of the travel was on the flight back from Dulles to Vermont . We boarded the plane at the right time .. but then spent 2 hours on the runway in the plane .. it was 90 degrees out so the plane was pretty toasty. After al llmyhqt they took us back to the gate .. i was thinking I’d be stranded there but at 8:30’we re boarded

We just landed

That’s the second time around the planet this month and boy it feels good to be home In sweet Vermont !

Nite all, nite Sam
