I’m on a bus bound for Centrair, Nagoya International Airport, to pick up my son Shingo, who’s been in the US for the last 3 months. With me are my two youngest sons. They are very anxious to see their older brother. My oldest boy stayed home to study for college entrance exams.
We’ve been on the bus for over two hours now, and the boys have been asleep most of the journey so far, which is good. Takashi, the older of the two, just woke up and asked why we weren’t there yet. A reasonable question as our itinerary says the trip should take an hour and 50 minutes. Unfortunately the traffic on the Tomei Expressway is quite heavy, and I’m glad we are not expecting to get on a plane, simply meeting someone getting off of one, as the folks in the seat in front of me look a bit nervous that they might miss their flight.
I hope it doesn’t take too much longer, as I’m getting hungry.
