From large to small and back again

So not quite sure what our last blog entry said but no doubt we
sounded bored and just slightly stressed. The burger and apple pie we
are currently consuming is helping a lot with the second of those and
we haven't had time to be bored recently.
So a summary of events and explanation of the title of the blog for
today !

At some point last week volcano erupted - we had no idea until we
arrived at the airport. Flight home was cancelled so we were put up in
hotel for three days. When we went back to airport we were given fly
back date of 5th may everyone in Tokyo v stressed to say the least due
to uncertainty etc. Had option of flight to LA with link to UK from
SAn Francisco on 2nd May so hire car and off we go. So far Airline
have said don't even go to airport for standby list as there are too
many emergency passengers to get back so with a bit of luck we'll be
back sooner than we would have been but definately after martyn's
parents who went on holiday after us but will be back before us as
they're flight has not been cancelled.

Anyway had to buy emergency pants in Tokyo pleased with being
equivalent of large Japanese person. Now is US had to do more
emergency shopping - toothpaste shower gel shampoo and clean clothes
so that we can go out whilst all other clothes in laundry. So title of
today's blog using myself as comparison - large japanese = small
American. I'm still pleased !
And the back again - we'd forgotten American portion sizes - small in
japan and v large in US martyn is happy and stuffed and we shared !

I need a lie down now....... It was probably the apple pie that did it
but soooooo necessary !
See how much sleep we get tonight wide awake at 2am last night love
that jet lag........
