Actually, I arrived at Kansai Airport last Wednesday, the 21st at 4pm. The flight was on time. I didn't have jet lag in America, and I don't have jet lag in Japan either. Anyway, here are some of the details/highlights of the trip:
Day one- I departed KIX at 6pm on the 14th. The flight was smooth, no serious turbulence. From KIX to Seattle it takes about 9~10 hours. There was a short layover (=stopover, connection) in Seattle, about an hour and 20 minutes, and the we were off to JFK airport. This flight goes across America, from coast to coast, and takes about 4~5hours. We arrived right on time at 9:45pm, but from there, some things went wrong. First, the plane had to be towed to the gate, and that took a long time. Then, someone in the Delta or JFK Cargo staff forgot to open the cargo door, so it took forever, actually 2 hours, to get our bags. That's right, by the time we got our bags it was 12:00AM, MIDNIGHT!! If we were in Japan, then at the very least, there would be an announcement or something saying, "We sincerely apologize for the delay and truly wish for your forgiveness," or something like that. But we were in America, so nobody apologized, nobody said "Sorry for the delay..." Nothing! Typical American service.

My parents surprised me and met us at the airport. From there, we all took a limousine, a very nice, long, black and comfortable one, to Ocean City, New jersey. We arrived at around 3am, I took a shower, and hit the sack (=went to sleep.)
