Friday night/ arrival in Seattle ⛰️

It’s Friday night in Seattle.
The flight on All Nippon Airlines out to Seattle went without incident (8h 33m total travel time).
In Seattle I picked up my checked bag, and made a quick stop at the Global Entry kiosks for a facial recognition check. (The check takes 5 seconds flat.)
I even told the immigration officer I had brought back items to declare in my bags, but he waved me through.

Looking out the window as we are getting pushed back from the gate at Terminal 3 at Tokyo’s Haneda International airport. I am sitting in a Boeing 787 Dreamliner like the one in the picture.
About two hours to go here, flying east across the Pacific Ocean and the International Dateline. I left Tokyo at 9 pm on Friday night, and arrived in Seattle at 2 pm on Friday afternoon ☺️ (Pacific Time Friday afternoon, of course).
A clear day, albeit with wildfire smoke hanging in the still air.
Majestic Mt Rainier seems to float above it all.
