Booked
Just booked myself a one-way ticket to Tokyo using my frequent flyer miles. I made it onto the ANA flight that I wanted; the phone rep asked me why I wanted to book Star Alliance rather than the United flight that’s an hour later, and I explained that ANA has on-demand video while United does … Continue reading

Passport Hijinks
My last post, about the phone rental, was made last Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, I placed the rental reservation, and the confirmation email said I needed to send a copy of my passport as required by Japanese law. So I went to get it out and take it to school for scanning, and…it wasn’t … Continue reading
