More important than the food is the fact that I actually met our fellow board member, EstherM, to have this meal together. It was the first time I've ever meet anyone from this message board despite my years of posting here.

It was her idea to have lunch here, in fact. It was a great meeting her. She's a very cool & funny person, of which of I had little doubt. Big Grin

Cool...! Victory! Peace!

Yeah, it was very cool. She is definitely fun to hang out with. We had lunch and then took a walk from Omotesando to Shibuya where we ended up kicking it at a cafe over a couple of drinks.

Dochira, I have to thank you personally in all honesty. If it were not for the fact that you posted that incredible deal on tickets from LAX to Haneda, Tokyo for $600 roundtrip it is quite likely I would have not gone to Japan.

After reading your post in this very thread, I ended up calling the IACE travel agency office in West Los Angeles to confirm the availability of the banner deal you mentioned.
Since it proved to be true, I pulled the trigger back on January 28 and bought the discounted airfare that was on sale for that one day only. Later on I discovered that purchasing the same ticket on my flight would have cost me $1200 had I purchased the ticket myself on Orbitz.com.

Thanks again. Bow

You're very welcome. Did you fly ANA or Delta to Haneda?

Personally, I liked flying into Haneda except for the arrival time.

Again, very very jealous right now. Smile

The flight I was offered at the time of purchase was a Delta flight. I agree the arrival time, for me, at 4:30AM was wack...but beggars can't be choosers I suppose. It worked out okay eventually when I got to check in around 1PM.

Thank God, Esther is decidedly more normal in terms of her appearance. She's not the Harajuku type with regard to clothing! Sorry to disappointment, folks! Wink

JAL to Serve AIR MISDO in Celebration of New Boston Route

In celebration of its new Boston route to be launched on April 22, 2012, Japan Airlines (JAL) has collaborated with Duskin Co., Ltd, to create AIR MISDO - a JAL Original version of doughnuts from the popular Mister Donut franchise.



The Mister Donut brand originated from Boston where it began humble operations in 1955. Today, it has expanded to become the largest doughnut franchise chain in Japan with more than 1,300 outlets and with stores throughout Asia like in Taiwan, China and Philippines. To commemorate the start of direct flights to Boston - also the birthplace of Mister Donut, JAL will serve exclusively on this flight, the AIR MISDO set which includes a chocolate-coated cinnamon ring and a maple-flavored ring of classic Mister Donut doughnuts, alongside a bowl of Boston�fs signature clam chowder.

Additionally, just for customers on this route, JAL is bringing back Mister Donut�fs popular [Boston 1955] - a delectable snack of ice cream sandwiched between chocolate chip cookies. [Boston 1955] was sold until 2003 and no longer available in stores.

Triky, if you happen to see somebody and say to yourself, "Damn, she looks just like Jessica Alba!" It might actually BE Jessica Alba: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2133500/Jessica-Alba-hits-tourist-trail-family-holiday-Japan.html
