Amidst the swirling snow I boarded an Air Canada flight to Tokyo. We had to wait an hour to take off because the plane required de-icing.
I was not looking forward to sitting in a middle seat for the next 13 hours and 10 minutes. I had been unable to contact my normal travel and my new agent did noto t have the experience to obtain an aisle seat for me.
Life has away of giving you an experience you enjoy in spite of what may appear a disaster. I ended up sitting next to a lovely approachable young Japanese lady who never slept so getting up and going to the washroom was easy and I had a lovely seat companion.
On the next leg of the journey between Tokyo and Bangkok , I was to sit between toin two Thai men .

My usual haunts greated me with open arms and one of them gave me a free pineapple, coconut, banana and spriulina drink.
I’m writing this from J.JU coffee shop that was recommended by a Spanish man I met last year. He is in touch with the owner of the cafe. She said he is presently in the Philipines where he has found himself a new lady companion.
