Seems I remember them (just a few) standing around a mini-bus, in the rain, holding some signs with that indecipherable Japanese lettering, one or two bored cops in a police car on the other side of the 4 lane (it was a 4 lane, I think). Woulda been 'bout 1988? We were going over to the other Tokyo airport and then onto Okinawa. What's the name of that other airport? I've forgotten. <BR/><BR/>That was the trip when I thought I had lost my Gov't passport. Luckily had my personal one as backup. Got home and found it had fallen into this invisible sleeve in my briefcase that I didn't even know existed. <BR/><BR/>That was in my drinking days, Edward. I had some strange experiences in those times. I don't miss 'em, either. :-)Gun Trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312012435197709902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10615369.post-1118773050889288382005-06-14T14:17:00.000-04:002005-06-14T14:17:00.000-04:00I check in early and jockey for an aisle seat.

Since I am a frequent traveller, and nearly all of my flights are international (6 hours is the shortest, 13-18 hours to the west or east coasts)it is important I do not get middle seats.<BR/><BR/>The gov't ticketing agency only looks at price. Once they got me on a full flight from Washington's Reagan Airport all the way to Tokyo Narita in a coach class middle seat. That truly SUCKED.<BR/><BR/>EdRamblin' Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06526791657037100123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10615369.post-1118750708873014072005-06-14T08:05:00.000-04:002005-06-14T08:05:00.000-04:00I avoid that middle seat also, Anon, if the air ca...I avoid that middle seat also, Anon, if the air carrier has something else.<BR/><BR/>I'm like you, it's been a few years since I rode the "dog", but I think you're right - they do only have 2 seats, an aisle, then 2 more seats. I stand corrected.<BR/><BR/>If interested, here's a site, packed full of info on that <A HREF="http://www.strayhound.com/" REL="nofollow">silver dog</A>.Gun Trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312012435197709902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10615369.post-1118749632620675512005-06-14T07:47:00.000-04:002005-06-14T07:47:00.000-04:00Yessir, I do not like that seat either.

Specially on planes as those seats are so narrow and although I don't think I'm that wide, it's always a tight fit when I get that seat, which I try to avoid.<BR/><BR/>But I think the Hound only has two seats across. Been a few years since I rode one so could be wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
