Good morning in California and Good evening in Japan!

It is 8:21am and I am just a little sleepy! I am currently in the American Airlines Admirals Club at Dallas/ Fort Worth Airport in Texas.  I am eating a Nature Valley crunchy granola bar (90 calories) and drinking vanilla flavored coffee!

My flight was delayed from Los Angeles to Dallas, so I arrived here about 6:15am.  Fortunately, I was able to upgrade to first class so I had plenty of room. I was sitting next to American Airlines pilot who offered me some earplugs (he called them the poor mans Bose headphones). They worked really well, I was able to sleep most of the almost three hour flight!

I will depart here for Tokyo Narita airport at 10:10am! 

I am finally on my way to Tokyo, Japan! I am currently in the Admiral’s Club Lounge at LAX waiting on my next flight! Earlier in the evening had dinner at IHOP with my sister and nephews ("The Johnson Boys")! Here is my Itinerary

Good afternoon! Today and everyday that I can open my eyes is a great day for me! I am thankful for this and every precious moment that I am alive! 

Good evening! How are things? Yes, all is well and I am finding a way to enjoy each and every precious moment of my life! I am just sitting here at home relaxing; I just got off the phone with my youngest sister. I have not written anything for a few days, so I thought it would be good to start writing again!

I have not decided what date I will return to Japan, so I thought it was a great opportunity to get back into the gym and improve my overall health and fitness. This will be my second day back at the gym after being out for quite sometime due to my busy traveling schedule. Fortunately, I do push ups and walk every day to stay healthy when I do not have access to my gym.  

There really is no excuse for me not to go to the gym when I am here in San Jose; it takes me a total of about 5 minutes to get there, since it is only about one block away from my home. I am off to workout at Bally’s Total Fitness in downtown San Jose, California.
