Asia 2005 Journey Day Two
                                   Houston, Texas to Tokyo, Japan 
                                            
                                            Limited report today - All flying for 13 hours and 30 minutes.  Departure is 10:50 a.m.
                                           and arrival is tomorrow at 2:20 p.m.  Plenty of time to read, watch movies, and enjoy 
                                           the menu.  Quite a difference between domestic and international dinner selection. Not
                                           sure about the Japanese menu option. Just maybe.  If the regular business travel meals
                                           were like these, it would be a an even more crowded sky.
