さて、お待ちかねのネタやっと書き始まりました。無事帰国して、写真の整理も完了、これから、アメリカ行きの体験語ります。
Almost everybody has their own tradition and I'm no different. Whenever I leave the country, I start off with my departure beer at the airport. Today's choice is Yebisu the Black.
After our snack, we headed to the departure lounge to wait for our flight. While walking through Narita Airport, I came across a shop that was featuring displays of origami art. And as my mother is currently participating in an origami class, I thought she would enjoy these pics.

And then we spotted our plane. A Boeing 747. Unfortunately, it was like being on a relic of the past. There were no personal video systems, you had no choice as to what movie you could watch, and there was only one screen which you can never get a good view of. So, I spent most of my time reading a book.
で、ベガス行きの飛行機を発見。ボーイング７４７．でもはっきりと言って、昔の様な飛行機でした。個人ビデオシステムは無い、スクリーンは見づらい、映画が選べない。って事で、僕は本を読んでました。
As there isn't a direct flight to Vegas, our first stop would be in San Francisco. An eight hour flight.
And you definitely know you're in Vegas when you see the slot machines right there in the middle of the airport.
僕は旅に出るたんびにかならずやる事がある。それは出発ビールを飲む事。今回アメリカに行く前に選んだビールはエビス・ザ・ブラック。
And of course I will keep you informed of my culinary adventures as well. So, the first bite of my trip is is this thin crust pizza.
もちろん、旅の間で食べた物もちょこちょこ紹介します。ビールと共に、最初に食べたものはこの薄切りのピザ。

As there isn't a direct flight to Vegas, our first stop would be in San Francisco. An eight hour flight. 東京からベガスまでの直行便がないので、サンフランシスコ経由で行く事になりました。八時間ちょっとのフライト。
Which means there's enough time for two in flight meals.
アメリカ着くまで、機内食は二回も出る。
We made it to San Francisco without any problems and as we had a two hour layover, we couldn't resist having a light snack. We came across a place called the San Francisco Soup Company. I had an order of split-pea soup, something I haven't eaten since moving to Tokyo, while Mikako ordered their clam chowder. Delicious. Definitely a place to visit again.
無事サンフランシスコに到着。次の便まで二時間もあって、軽く食べることにした。空港内に「サンフランシスコ・スープ・カンパニー」を発見。僕は何年ぶりにスプリット・ピー・スープを食べた。美香子はクラム・チャウダー。とっても美味しかった。
And then it's off to Vegas.
次はベガスだ！
And you definitely know you're in Vegas when you see the slot machines right there in the middle of the airport. ベガスに居るのを一番感じるのは、空港内にも、スロットがある！
And it's off to our hotel - the Flamingo!
空港からホテルに移動、泊るところはフラミンゴ、映画「カシノ」の舞台のホテルです。
To be continued...
つづく
