We arrived here on Monday afternoon, and the Japanese have been very respectful and helpful. We've been given someone to help translate and assist us with anything we need, and so far everything's been pretty straightforward.
We flew via High Kong - it's never easy going from west to east with an eight-hour time difference - and I slept like a baby the first night. I slept for 12 hours straight - the one bonus of not having my kids here! Mind you, that hasn't happened again since.
I'm feeling good as we've got a strong team.
