Good afternoon from the Japan Airlines Sakura First Class Lounge at Narita Airport!  I just finished having lunch. Now I am enjoying a very strong cup of coffee and relaxing for a few moments before departing for Los Angeles at 4:50pm this afternoon!

It took me about 2 hours to arrive here. I departed ShimoAkatsuka about 9:49am on the Tobu Tojo Line. After arriving at Ikebukuro Station I sat down near that fountain on the B1 level of Metropolitan Plaza to catch my breath. Shortly after that I departed on the Narita Express train at 10:33am. I checked in at the America Airlines counter, bought a couple of omiyage coffee tumblers at Starbucks (Japan 2009), then went through customs without having to take my shoes or my belt off I and headed for the Japan Airlines Sakura First Class Lounge.

I dropped my things off and then headed over to the American Airlines Admirals Club Lounge to say hello to my friend that works there. I sat down and had a glass of ginger ale, some interesting creamy soup and a few crackers. Shortly, after my friend who works there came out and chatted with me for a few moments. We talked about the importance of positive thinking and how to use words to create a more positive life experience. After our conversation, I immediately headed back to the JAL Lounge!

Once inside I followed my usual routine, I immediately headed into the space designated for relaxing and climbed into a message chair and enjoyed a 15-minute massage. After feeling a bit refreshed I found a comfortable seat near the window. Then, I poured a glass of ginger ale over ice with lemon, went over to the buffet table and enjoyed some spicy chicken and mixed vegetables over rice. Once again the service there was excellent!

Please take care, stay positive and have a great day! And remember to always create new ways of enjoying each and every precious moment of you’re your gift of life, I know I will! See you again soon!

PS: Always remember that life is a very precious gift to be enjoyed one precious moment at a time!
