Great trip, great food?
Nice trip, good seat, great food.
I ordered a part I needed from Apple last week and it wasn’t available from a warehouse in the USA, so it was shipped from overseas. What a trip! It started off somewhere in China, made its way to Shanghai, now a beautiful, modern city, where, I am sure, it ate some terrific meals and slept in a first-rate hotel. It spent several days sightseeing in Shanghai before leaving for... Nariti-shi, the Narita International Airport, the one that serves Tokyo. I hope the sushi was fresh. Then, another international flight to Palinville, aka Alaska, from where you can see Russia from every front porch and Canada from every back porch. The salmon was fresh there and after a few good meals and being chased by Mama Pitbull Moose, the part was put on another plane, this one headed for... Memphis... Barbecue, Elvis, and Beale Street. Great partying. And then, a quick flight to Dulles Airport in Virginia. Bad food, lousy parking, the state of transvaginal probes and a corrupt governor. Hope my part isn’t raped in Virginia once it is on that delivery truck. What a trip. Wish I had taken it. In reverse order (and apparently the stop in Japan takes into account time zone differences): - 7/03/2013 - Wednesday 6:05 am At destination sort facility DULLES, VA 3:32 am Departed FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN 2:19 am International shipment release - Import MEMPHIS, TN 1:10 am Arrived at FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN - 7/02/2013 - Tuesday 4:58 pm In transit NARITA-SHI JP 4:12 pm Departed FedEx location ANCHORAGE, AK 10:11 am International shipment release - Import ANCHORAGE, AK 10:05 am In transit ANCHORAGE, AK Package available for clearance 6:17 am Arrived at FedEx location ANCHORAGE, AK 2:33 am In transit SHANGHAI CN 2:01 am International shipment release - Import SHANGHAI CN - 7/01/2013 - Monday 10:30 pm At local FedEx facility SHANGHAI CN - 6/30/2013 - Sunday 10:45 pm At local FedEx facility SHANGHAI CN - 6/29/2013 - Saturday 8:07 pm Left FedEx origin facility SHANGHAI CN 8:06 pm Picked up SHANGHAI CN Package received after FedEx cutoff 8:40 am Shipment information sent to FedEx |
