Aug 12-14 - and we’re off

Flights and baggage went like clockwork, amazingly enough. With only a half hour to spare baggage was rechecked and we were through security and at our gate. JAL loaded 300 people in 15 minutes and we flew to Hokkaido.

The distance to Obihiro from the airport was a surprise and so was the price but oh well. Hamid was waiting for us and then went to bed. Shab came to dinner with us. Great sushi at half the price. Love it.

Yesterday we made our way to the start hotel, Hamid and I rode our bikes; Shab and Sandy by taxi. Sandy left for her hotel later; Shab is volunteering.

It's going to be a rain-a-thon; perhaps clear on the last day. Ugh. Ugh.

Oh well.

Onward.
