  I arrived in Seattle at 8:00 a.m. this morning. Got to the hotel in downtown and promptly fell asleep.
I am convinced airline seats are designed to be as uncomfortable as possible. I couldn't sleep a minute on the plane and one in-flight movie was urlLink urlLink Welcome to Mooseport , possibly the worst movie I have ever endured. The other movie was urlLink 50 First Dates , which was innocent enough and made me laugh a few times.
The flight was completely full, not an empty seat on the plane. Crammed into a flying tin can with 450+ other people is not my favorite travelling conditions. Oh well all this kvetching will get me no where. The conference starts tomorrow, and I actually think I am ready to go back to bed and sleep some more. I was absolutely exhausted this morning. I didn't sleep the night before the flight, who can get up at 4:00 a.m. to check in for a 6:00 a.m. flight - I stayed up all night.
The only rest I got in transit was about an hour in the Narita traveller's lounge. They have these great recliners in a quiet corner of the bottom floor lounge that are perfect for catching some sleep. I can't begin to describe how comfortable they were to an exhausted traveller, it was just what I needed.
