Arrival in Tokyo was early in the morning. I tried to rent one of the temporary by-the-hour rooms in the terminal so we could nap and shower, but they were fully booked.

We found a place where I would get a bowl of Ramen noodles for breakfast – delicious. During the walk the restaurant, Lauren spotted a poster that had photos of boxes from around the world. One was from a chicken farm in Lockhart, Texas, a town that we frequent often when in Texas. I took at photo and posted it to the Lockhart Discussion Group on Facebook, prompting a flurry of responses.

We nothing to do and nowhere to go for 8 more hours, we found a quiet, unoccupied gate and stretched out to nap as best we could. We napped, sat, ate sushi, and charged our phones.
