Day 1 - We're off

After an easy drive we dropped off the car and then encountered a huge amount of traffic on our way back to the airport.  Thankfully we'd allowed lots of time and after a every quick check in we are sat here in the complimentary lounge, although you could say we'd paid for it by upgrading our ticket. Still it's very nice to be sat here in comfort eating a lovely plate of food and downing a gin and tonic. Japan here we come.
