Yes, we had an eight-hour layover in Tokyo. We ate breakfast at the Tokyo airport McDonalds. We also had plenty of time to photograph the fancy toilets, take a nap on the comfy, cushions surrounded by contemporary art, and catch up on e-mail using the airport wi-fi. The kids bought 'Doraemon - Gadget cat from the future' bilingual Japanese/English books and read them back to front (as designed). They loved these, read three at the airport and bought three more to read on the flight home. Since I was so well rested from my nap at the Tokyo airport, I watched three movies on the flight to Salt Lake City. Now that we're home, I'm feeling some PVD... Post Vacation Depression. Trying to look on the bright side: enjoying the dry heat of Arizona (all 114 degrees F of it) and tall, cold glasses of milk!
