I'm home. I flew into BWI last night after about 33 hours of travel. I'll write more when my body adjusts to the time change. In the meantime here's one last travel photoThe first leg of my journey home was from Hanoi to Nagoya, Japan. After eight of the longest hours of my life there I flew to Detroit. On the way we flew almost directly over Mount Fuji. It was a clear day so I had a great view of the perfectly conical, snow-capped mountain, perhaps the iconic sight of Japan.
I was asked how high Fuji is compared to Everest. Fuji is one of the world's most beautiful and photogenic mountains, but it's only just over 12,000 feet high. Our cruising altitude was about 27,000 feet here, which means the plane was about a half-mile lower than the summit of Everest.
