Back in the USA

Sitting in the Minneapolis airport trying to make sure I don't fall asleep and miss the flight out. The trans-Pacific leg was routine, though there was an earthquake while we were still in Tokyo. I think we were on a shuttle bus when it happened, because neither of us felt it, and we've both been through earthquakes before.

At this point, I just feel numb. It's 3:00 in the morning in China and I wasn't really able to sleep on the plane. The biggest shock of the day was seeing that our erstwhile luggage, originally booked on the American flight with us, was transferred to the Northwest flight and came off the belt quickly in Minneapolis.
