What happens when  two modern-day, married professors fall into Ancient Greece through a portal, experience their lives as a page-burner of adventures and harrowing escapes that forges them into hero figures – all at the behest of the Greek God Apollo and his deep concern for the direction of our world today?
The answer to that rather long-winded question forms  Passage at Delphi,   the new novel by San Diego-based author A.K. Patch.  Passage at Delphi  went on sale today worldwide, and is available on online booksellers, Amazon.com, Kindle, bn.com and through all bookstores.
Seven years in the making,  Passage at Delphi  tackles enough historical, topical and character-driven real estate to open a small state. Flip the pages and you find: protagonists Lauren and Zack Fletcher racing lodging anchorage alaska through intrigue, romance and adventure; narrow escapes from predatory hands; their experiences with gods, kings and legendary military rulers; time travel in both directions – from present-to-past and past-to-present; exquisite Ancient Greek landscapes seen and lived through young 21st century professors; a new view of the famous 300 Spartans war against the Persians; and a climactic final scene. All is orchestrated by Apollo , the God of Prophecy, as part of a master plan that reveals itself as Passage at Delphi  progresses.
lodging anchorage alaska Says the  Midwest Book Review   of  Passage at Delphi:  In presenting action spread out over three different times and characters that intersect, Passage at Delphi creates a fast-paced and challenging story line that places readers at the crux of understanding choices and their wide-reaching consequences makes it a force to be reckoned lodging anchorage alaska with: a novel that involves even the most experienced reader of historical fiction, mythology fantasy, and adventure.
Most of all, Passage at Delphi has the Big Three of great novels – memorable characters, strong story, and plenty of entertainment and enlightenment. It is smart, gritty and dedicated to its details – much like its author, a retired career Naval officer who has been fascinated with Ancient Greece and ancient military tactics since he was a child.
WORD JOURNEYS: First of all, Dr. Patch, Passage lodging anchorage alaska at Delphi is a very ambitious project, a compelling blend of deep history and crafty fiction writing – a magnum opus in many ways. How long have you been working on it?
A.K. PATCH: PASSAGE has been in progress for seven years now. I’ve been in no rush to publish it and it has become far more interesting and involved plot. I’ll never have writer’s block. The story just comes out. I occasionally write the story in my head while I’m jogging.
WJ: You wrap the story around a pair of university professors from California who travel to their beloved Greece on an archaeological dig – only to be transported back in time, as intended by the Greek god Apollo. Could you discuss the protagonists a bit more?
AP: Apollo chooses Zack and Lauren because they have the qualities he desires. They have the potential to survive lodging anchorage alaska his gauntlet of hero training, but are guaranteed lodging anchorage alaska nothing. Apollo’s goal is to save western culture from a devastating collapse. Thereby, the United States must be secured, or the western world will crumble. His heroes must be American, physically able to endure what he has planned, and knowledgeable of the ancient times in which they are tossed into. Even more so, Zack and Lauren are connected to The Professor in Athens. That is how Apollo found them. They fit his requirements.
AP: Lauren, like a lot of women, has the capability to rise to the occasion. lodging anchorage alaska She has the temperance of a military upbringing. I have personal experience with military dependents and their silent endurance of multiple deployments, low pay, and the ever-present possibility that their loved one is not coming lodging anchorage alaska home. Their dedication and sacrifice should be more celebrated by our nation.  Lauren is not so completely hardened, though. She doesn’t realize her strength, and fears separation from Zack. She will endure many physical and psychological battles.
I have asked women what they think they do better than men. One compelling answer is that they multi-task better. Juggling family and career is no picnic. Zack has a lot to learn. He has not had to struggle. He lives under the umbrella of safety that the United States provides to him. What happens to any of us when our umbrellas are pulled and the full force of the storm hits us?
WJ: No good historical action-thriller with a romantic twist can thrive without an antagonist – and Passage at Delphi has a most memorable one in Bessus, the Persian lodging anchorage alaska commander who threatens and harangues Zack and especially Lauren throughout the story. Can you tell us how you created such a menacing character, and why?
AP: Bessus represents evil, but would not most ancient warriors act in the manner he does? There are no terms of chivalry, lodging anchorage alaska no mercies extended. That is true today also. One aspect of Bessus I might mention is that he has suffered and struggled, and in his mind, cruelty and domination is survival. A monster such as Bessus is not all evil. He yearns for his son, to hold onto his hard-won gains back in Bactria (modern-day Afghanistan). He was betrayed by his mother and her people, seriously enough that you can hold a grain of sympathy for him. Even though he transposes lodging anchorage alaska his brand of malice to the modern day, evil, greed, and malevolence can come in many forms. It doesn’t just hold a two-headed axe. It can wear a three-piece suit with cufflinks and plot domination of markets, too.
AP: PASSAGE originated as a vehicle to bring the Battle of Thermopylae to the attention of readers. The Greeks of that time were presented with a horrific decision of submitting to slavery or fighting the overwhelming power and wealth of The Persian Empire. I find the Persian Wars period lodging anchorage alaska fascinating, and it could be considered a climactic event in the development and survival of Western culture. The questions may soon come to be: are we living lodging anchorage alaska in such pivotal times? And what may we have to do to survive and pass our way of life to succeeding generations?
AP: The ancient Greeks might be called our distant grandparents. Their significant advancements in philosophy, mathematics, architecture, art, sculpture, and playwriting are a solid foundation of our western culture. Ultimately, they gave birth to democracy and more so, fought to the death to defend their way of life, allowing those advances in human spirit to be passed to us.
AP: Sure. When freedom was largely unknown in the ancient world, when kings and despots ruled the lives of populations, a hardscrabble group of Greek city-states on the western edge of the great empires of the east forged a society. As it turned out, that society made a lasting impact on the future generations of the west – and the east, for that matter. We look to Athenian lodging anchorage alaska democracy lodging anchorage alaska as our crucible of freedom, but it was not inclusive. Only male citizens of wealth and military training were allowed to vote. It is a kernel of what we have today, lodging anchorage alaska but an amazing development for the time. Our enlightened lodging anchorage alaska founding Fathers declared equality for all, but that didn’t happen for some time.
AP: I loved Hercules movies and some of the other big Sword and Sandal Classics of the 50’s and 60’s. Cleopatra, Spartacus, The Robe, Demetrius and the Gladiators, and my ultimate favorite, The Three Hundred Spartans from 1962.  Without video in those days, you would see a movie once and then wait years to see it again. Torturous, if it was a movie that made a big impact on you!
I have been entranced with ancient lodging anchorage alaska history for so long that a lot of the events and settings are second nature to me. I did dig deeper into authors and texts regarding life in those times. I especially respect author and educator Edith Hamilton and her works. When I develop plot twists, then I’m looking for an unusual aspect of ancient life to add substance.

As the novel begins, a Greek city finds itself caught between two cultures and preyed upon by two co

For all of his association with retellings tom petty tour schedule of Welsh mythology, author Lloyd Alexander also had a long standing love for Greek mythology. In the mid-1990s, this love inspired The Arkadians , a novel loosely based some would say very loosely based on Greek mythology.
As the novel begins, a Greek city finds itself caught between two cultures and preyed upon by two corrupt soothsayers. To fix this, naturally, the young hero must travel all over Greece and even head out to Crete, picking up witty companions and a true love along the way. As one does. To brighten matters up, in this case, the hero is also travelling with a poetic jackass.
Alexander uses the theory that Greece was originally inhabited by a Great Goddess worshipping matriarchy that was later invaded/superseded by a Sky Father worshipping patriarchy. (Feel free to duke this out in the comments, but for the purposes of this post, let s just say that this theory has been greatly debated, although it did form a basis for numerous fantasy works of the 1980s and 1990s.) This, and one of those always questionable prophecies tom petty tour schedule so easily subject to misinterpretation starts off the book, as two Evil Soothsayers of the Bear People decide to take advantage of the prophecy and the depression it creates in the king to rid the world of the pernicious influence of the Lady of the Wild Things. This just happens to include seizing more power and money and remove anyone who might stand in their way, such as a young clerk, Lucian, who discovers a small issue with the accounting.
Soon Lucian is on the run, accompanied by Fronto, a poet turned into a donkey, or as Alexander cheerfully and frequently reminds us, a jackass. They flee their way through ancient Greece and the Mediterranean just happening to encounter a lot of mythology along the way. Their group grows larger and larger, soon including a lovely girl called Joy-in-the-Dance (expect romance), a young boy called Catch-a-Tick (expect continued annoyance), a scapegoat called Ops (expect surprising leadership skills), and a certain mariner named Oudeis with a penchant tom petty tour schedule for telling lies (expect a very patient wife).
It s all warm-hearted and hilarious, if more than often rambling and a touch unfocused. Part of this comes, of course, from its inspiration the Odyssey and other myths referred to here were not always told in a straightforward tom petty tour schedule way, and Alexander adopts this approach, tom petty tour schedule pausing his narrative to tell various stories drawn from Greek myth. Part of this comes from the problem that many of the characters really have no goals other than to wander around oh, Fronto would like to be human again, and Lucian would like to be safe and with Joy-in-the-Dance, and Catch-a-Tick would like to experience adventures, but for the most part, these aren t very specific goals, at least not until Fronto is given a possible way to turn back into a poet.
Even then, the journey is continually interrupted by storytelling and detours, because, naturally, when you are on the run in Greece, you are going to run into various mythological figures all eager to give what we can probably call altered versions of their stories. I particularly enjoyed the revised ending Alexander suggests for the Odyssey. Not that the characters always find the storytelling enjoyable or inspiring: after hearing tom petty tour schedule the not exactly heroic story of the siege of Troy, for instance, Fronto complains that it s just about a grubby lot of provincials, adding, That doesn t exactly pluck at the imagination. Lucian, who by this point has learned more than a bit about storytelling, suggests embellishing the story a bit using a thousand ships, topless towers, tom petty tour schedule that sort of thing. Fronto is delighted to realize that Lucian has learned the fundamentals of poetry.
Sprinkled here and there are some none too subtle statements about prejudice and its dangers, tom petty tour schedule on both sides. The women who follow the Lady of the Wild Things have good reason to be distrustful of the Bear People, but this distrust also means that they have difficulty finding potential allies. Alexander does not make the mistake of presenting either tom petty tour schedule the Bear People tom petty tour schedule or the cultures they oppress as unified in their approach or, for that matter, completely good or completely evil. His solution to have a leader with a father from one culture and a mother from another is not, everyone recognizes, a complete solution that will miraculously solve all problems, but it may be the best that everyone can do. His other solution is an again none too subtle emphasis on dialogue above all which works only, as the characters recognize, if everyone tom petty tour schedule is willing to engage in the dialogue. Not everyone is. The only thing that does gain universal tom petty tour schedule agreement by the end of the novel is a strong respect for the written word and an insistence that knowledge and wisdom should be written down, not kept in oral form. Alexander was, after all, a print author.
My favorite bits of the novel do not, however, have anything to do with culture clashes and post-colonial solutions, tom petty tour schedule but rather center around Fronto, the poet turned into a donkey. Most of this, frankly, feels like a cheerful excuse for Lloyd Alexander to put jackass and poet into the same sentence, along with expressing some of his thoughts (often less than complimentary) about poetry and poets:
tom petty tour schedule Is it perfect? No. For a short book, it has far too many characters, to the point where Alexander finds himself having to remind readers who specific characters are and their background, and even with that, distinguishing one character from another can be tricky. It s not helped by Joy-in-the-Dance s insistence on calling Lucian Aiee-Ouch, in an initially tom petty tour schedule cute joke that becomes progressively more irritating as the book continues. And speaking of progressive tom petty tour schedule irritation, I found Alexander s decision to give some characters name names (Lucian, tom petty tour schedule Fronto, Asterion) and other characters descriptive names (Joy-in-the-Dance, Catch-a-Tick), tom petty tour schedule progressively distracting.

Airlines like biofuel blends like the one that powered this weekend s flight because they can run th

Over the weekend, the first two transatlantic flights to be powered in part by biofuels made it safely hotel to Paris . One, a business jet designed to ferry smaller (usually wealthy) groups, had a 50-50 blend of traditional jet fuel and biofuel in one of its engines; in the other plane, a larger, commercial jet, all four engines burned a blend that contained 15 percent biofuel.
The two planes were headed for the Paris Air Show, which is spotlighting alternative energy this year. For the first time, the show has a section dedicated to alternative jet fuels, and one of the show s prime attractions is the Solar Impulse, a plane run on solar power alone.
hotel With the wing span of an Airbus hotel and the weight of a mid-sized car, the solar plane looks like a child coming out of Willy Wonka s chocolate factory: it s been stretched and pulled in all of the wrong places. Its body resembles that of a flattened helicopter; it carries no passengers; it made its first international flight last month, and it had to make two attempts to get to Paris for the air show. It s far from being commercially hotel viable.
Biofuels, on the other hand, should come into common use within the next few years. Last week, the international standards association hotel that oversees jet fuels provisionally approved specifications for the type of fuel used in this weekend s flights, and if those standards become hotel permanent, airlines could start using them in commercial flights. The Air Transport Association, an airline trade group, hotel has predicted that by 2014, biofuels will be available in enough quantity for airlines to make a regular practice of blending them with jet fuels.
Traveling on a plane ranks high on the list of most environmentally unfriendly activities ever, and swapping even a portion of carbon-intense jet fuel out for biofuel will help make a dent in the world s collective carbon footprint. It will also lessen the sting of ironies like Al Gore s globetrotting-derived carbon debt or hordes of environmental reporters flying across the world to cover United Nations climate negotiations.
But blowing that much fuel even biofuel to get somewhere still counts as an indulgence, and biofuels won t change that calculus. Plane tickets are still relatively cheap, but as the cost of fuel increases, airlines are raising their prices: By this past February , prices had ticked up more times in 2011 than in all of 2010, and they continued to rise . Airlines are looking for cost savings anywhere they can find them. A new industry study promised, for instance, that for every 25 pounds of in-flight magazines and other on-board paper eliminated, an airline could save $440,000 each year. The fees that airlines are heaping on their customers for bags, movies, music, food, blankets, seat-choice and every other convenience also subsidize the price of fuel. It might not feel this way to shivering, hungry passengers who don t want to pay $8 to watch a movie as bad as Salt on their tiny seat-back screen, but the real luxury they re paying for is the fuel that powers the plane.
Airlines like biofuel blends like the one that powered this weekend s flight because they can run through the pipelines and engines already in use, saving airlines from the burden of investing in new infrastructure and allowing them to keep ticket hotel prices down. Airlines are hoping that biofuels hotel eventually might be cost-competitive or even cheaper than oil, but in the short term, these fuels are still a new technology that comes with attendant costs.

Yes, prices are trending up, but we have to remember that last year ticket prices were at decade low

If you re reading this, you know what you want: gambling and nightlife (but if you get a chance, look around while in Las Vegas Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and the Red Rock National Conservation Area are all most impressive).
My personal family beach vacation packages favorites (as a 2-3 time a year visitor) family beach vacation packages are the golf, dining (my favorite is Michael Mina in the Bellagio and Il Mulino in the Caesar s Forum Shops) and the shows (okay, a bit of poker as well ).
Las Vegas has taken it on the chin recently from being dissed (then un-dissed) by the White House to the nation s worst unemployment , as the recession hit hard last year causing a dramatic drop in traveler demand.
At first this might seem like good news on the discounting front (true for hotels as City Center opens with a raft of new rooms) but alas, this is not the case for airfare as airlines family beach vacation packages have dramatically cut back seats in the wake of this drop in demand and we all know that stronger demand + less seats = higher ticket prices .
In fact US Airways (one of the major carriers at McCarran International) dropped Las Vegas as one of its focus cities, as they decided to retract into their more lucrative hubs by slashing almost half their flights ouch!
Not only are ticket prices on the rise for summer travel, your chances of getting an empty middle seat are almost nil (yes, I was a World Cup addict this year) and your coveted nonstop may be a connector now (at least if you want a cheaper flight).
Yes, prices are trending up, but we have to remember that last year ticket prices were at decade lows, so it isn t as bad as it might appear at first blush. family beach vacation packages Airlines, especially for summer family beach vacation packages travel (you can cook an egg on the sidewalk on a cool Vegas summer day) are releasing fewer cheap seats this summer, which poses a problem for those who got used to great deals when they procrastinated last year.
Don t procrastinate this year, a key factor in finding a better deal as we head toward the end of summer is starting early airlines typically start to release their cheapest seats for domestic family beach vacation packages routes about 3 1/2 months before departure (this is when they start to actively manage the cheaper price points on flights).
Please note that shopping and buying are two separate processes, family beach vacation packages shop early and use technology so it doesn t have to be so often, and more importantly shop at the right time each week here s a good rule of thumb.
When an airline launches a sale, it typically starts on a Monday night, and by Tuesday afternoon, other airlines with similar routes will have matched those prices. For example, if Southwest launches family beach vacation packages a sale that includes its Las Vegas routes, chances are several other carriers will match Tuesday morning.
This has to do with a quirk in the way airline reservations systems are set up; if there is only a single seat available at the lowest price, but you re shopping for two tickets the system automatically kicks your order up to the next highest tier where there are two same price tickets. So buy one at a time, even though it means doing two separate transactions, and you could save big on at least one of those tickets.
Social media is all the rage in corporate America, and airlines are no exception family beach vacation packages as they have become pretty active on Twitter and Facebook , and you should be too. That s because sometimes they ll offer deals exclusively to their social media followers as will other Vegas entities.

It's a good one-step rule. But what else should you take into account when trying to get a great deal on an expensive flight? The Wall Street Journal 's Scott McCartney has some suggestions clarion hotel fort worth . Bottom line: if you buy your tickets clarion hotel fort worth midweek (i.e., Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday), you can save a bundle. One expert, FareCompare.com's Rick Seaney, has even pinpointed an ideal time to buy: 3pm EST on Tuesday. So why do fares work this way, anyway? Here's Mr McCartney:
Though prices fluctuate frequently and the ups and downs of airline prices can frustrate and anger consumers, airline pricing actually does follow a cycle during clarion hotel fort worth the week. Many sales, in which some seats are discounted by 15% to 25% typically, are launched Monday night....
...When airlines want to push through a fare increase, marking up their basic prices across the board usually by $5 or $10, they often do that on Thursday night, then watch to see if competitors clarion hotel fort worth match and if the higher rates stick over the weekend. If competitors balk, prices can be rolled back by Monday morning.
In addition, clarion hotel fort worth airlines don't manage their inventory as actively on weekends, so if cheap seats sell on some flights, prices automatically jump higher. Fare analysts may decide later to offer more seats at cheaper prices, but not until they come back to work on Monday, according to airline pricing executives.
Mr McCartney's article raises as many questions than it answers. clarion hotel fort worth Do corporate clarion hotel fort worth travel departments take advantage of airline pricing fluctuations and buy most of their tickets mid-week? How is the development of ever-more sophisticated fare comparison engines, such as Kayak.com, influencing pricing strategies? Much of Mr McCartney's data came from Kayak. But this definitely seems like a situation where the observer effect comes into play. Can journalists and the public extensively study airline pricing strategies without forcing airlines to respond and adjust?
Mr McCartney also warns that social media such as Facebook and Twitter are "already beginning" to "disrupt" airline pricing patterns. It will be fascinating to see how that dynamic continues to evolve. Have any readers ever bought an airline clarion hotel fort worth ticket through Twitter or Facebook? Would you consider doing so in the future? I follow JetBlue's Twitter account for last-minute sales, but I've never bought any of their " cheeps ." Anyway, what other sorts of ways do you see the rules about how, when, and where it's best to buy airline tickets changing in the coming years? Let us know in the comments, and check out Mr McCartney's full story for the rest of his tips.
To be simple as possible, clarion hotel fort worth the variables are too many and different from airline to another which makes it impossible to reach any conclusion about the time of the best price. Airlines use different revenue clarion hotel fort worth management systems with different forecasting models and different levels of personal influence to the system. Other variables include (but not limited to) the time of the year, the strength of the destination clarion hotel fort worth in the airline network, materialization rate and trend, etc.
The only rule I can reach is the earlier you purchase, clarion hotel fort worth the better price you get cos empty flights sell cheaper. Although, this is not always right as we've seen prices drop few days before departure mainly due to wrong forecasting.
Can someone please tell me how do these travel portals work? Do they purchase clarion hotel fort worth some tickets in bulk then resell them give discounts on a few of them? I mean their business model could be such that after selling the bulk-purchased tickets, they could just sell tickets remaining with the airlines using Global distribution systems.
I've heard different versions from people. I'd like to know how this industry? Can someone please volunteer to spend some time making me cognizant about the business model of this industry? In return, I'll teach you all the physics programming you can ever learn.
I'm not always searching for the cheapest ticket which is why the "sort by agony" on hipmunk.com takes my fancy. It mixes up price, duration, layovers and other secret herbs and spices to allow you to pick the best flight which might not necessarily be the cheapest.
However, they are limited clarion hotel fort worth by the source of their data (only Orbitz?) clarion hotel fort worth as is Kayak and their ilk. Checking 12+ different websites to compare all possible clarion hotel fort worth flights is quite painful so often the search is limited clarion hotel fort worth to a few that proved clarion hotel fort worth good value or impressed in some other way in the past.
Which I guess has a moral of sorts: these 'how to get the cheapest tickets' tricks clarion hotel fort worth are a bit academic - most of the time I don't get to decide my travels according to ticket pricing, instead I travel when I need to travel.
Travel industry is the biggest that make money in this world and sometime, it's can be a crooked system. There are many ways to find a very good deal about cheap tickets, clarion hotel fort worth but you have to know the secret. Stop paying that much and start saving money.
Best way to get cheap air tickets clarion hotel fort worth is to consult some good travel agents. Compare prices with different travel agencies and than book cheap tickets. I remeber one travel agent which is situated in Southall UK is Air Ticket. They offered me very good deal may be in future will again book my travel trip with them.
I will have to agree to this, Usually the best time of the week to book tickets, would be before the weekend, and most especially on Tuesdays. Most airline tickets even announce promos and price drops to be on these days. I've been booking clarion hotel fort worth cheap tickets for years and most of my travels have been made possible because of this. Book early, and watch out for cheap tickets during Tuesdays.
I truly agree that the time for buying air tickets matters a lot. If someone wants to book flights online and save their pennies clarion hotel fort worth than the best method is to approach clarion hotel fort worth a good agent for further benefits.

I have directed las vegas flamingo hotel an internal investigation team of experts to look at the report, and there is a likelihood that next week we could release the report, Najib said. Later in the interview with CNN aviation correspondent Richard Quest, he gave a more definitive statement, saying the report will be released next week.
The ICAO told CNN about a safety recommendation in the report: Malaysia said the aviation world needs to look at real-time tracking of commercial aircraft. las vegas flamingo hotel It s the same recommendation that was made after the Air France Flight 447 disaster in 2009.
Earlier Thursday, the partner of one of the passengers accused Malaysian authorities of seeming to be choosing to treat us as if we are the enemy as opposed to an interested party in helping to solve this mystery.
We ve been sitting on opposite sides of the table. They have a briefing, they tell us what they know and we ask them questions. That s just kind of broken. I think we need to start from scratch and sit down and have a positive dialogue.
In most cases, the report is published because it s not a controversial document, he said. It s a statement of facts what happened. And if there are any controversial or difficult facts, they can be redacted.
While pushing Malaysian authorities for answers, we re also extending our reach now, Bajc said. Some of the questions the families have, including technical questions, we will be bringing directly to Boeing. Boeing has a shareholders meeting next week. And if we re not getting information directly from Malaysia Airlines and from the Malaysian government, we might as well try to go directly to the source.
las vegas flamingo hotel Asked for a response, las vegas flamingo hotel Boeing sent CNN a written statement: Our thoughts and deepest sympathies continue to be with the families las vegas flamingo hotel and loved ones of those aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Boeing continues to serve as a technical adviser to the U.S. National Transportation (Safety) Board, and in that role we have been an active and engaged party to the investigation.
If the idea is to go more strategic and investigate the entire aircraft flight path, maybe 15 miles or so either side, then you need a more strategic tool, and something like a deep-towed sonar that can provide a very large range indeed at the expense of resolution.
Hishammuddin Hussein said the names of the members will be announced next week. He also said the team will not be looking into the criminal aspects of the investigation, which remain under the Royal Malaysian Police.
The Boeing las vegas flamingo hotel 777-200ER took off from Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital, at 12:41 a.m. Saturday, March 8, 2014 (12:41 p.m. Friday ET). It was scheduled to arrive in Beijing at 6:30 a.m. the same day, after a roughly 2,700-mile (4,350-kilometer) journey. But around 1:30 a.m., air traffic controllers in Subang, outside Kuala Lumpur, lost contact las vegas flamingo hotel with the plane over the sea between Malaysia and Vietnam.
There were 239 people on board: 227 passengers and 12 crew members. Five of the passengers were younger than 5 years old. Those on board included a number of painters and calligraphers, as well as employees of an American las vegas flamingo hotel semiconductor company. Two passengers boarded the plane using stolen passports.

There's a Tenya restaurant in front of Nippori station. Its tendon set is our favourite since the 20

We were in Tokyo last March for one week holiday. After arrival at Narita Airport, we took Keisei Skyliner train to Nippori, where our hotel is located. The journey from airport to Nippori Station took around 30 minutes. Outside the station, it was drizzling but we decided to brave the rain and walk to our accommodation. It's not easy because we carry two huge trolley bags, a back pack, and a child in stroller but luckily the hotel is just 400 meters away. We reached the front door relatively intact.
In this trip, we choose to stay at Hotel Mystays Nippori . It is a budget hotel chain but the room is comfortable and equipped with all the basic necessities such as attached bathroom with towels and toiletries, hair dryers, heater and air-condition, tv (only Japanese channel though), internet, kettle, fridge, microwave, even a small electric stove.

Although Nippori is a bit out of the main tourist area, it is connected with the ever useful JR Yamanote Line, making it a convenient base for travelling around Tokyo.
We arrived few hours before check-in time and the room was not ready yet so we left our luggage and went out to explore Nippori, which is famously known as Fabric Town. True to its name, there are rows after rows of shoplots selling various kind of textiles. One of the popular shop is 'Tomato', with several floors of textile products, mostly fabric rolls of various quality as cheap as JPY 100/meter. We bought some for ourselves, and as souvenirs for friends and relatives.
There's a Tenya restaurant in front of Nippori station. Its tendon top travel sites set is our favourite since the 2011 trip. Meal price has not change so much since the last time we ate there, about JPY 900 per set which includes drinks (hot or chilled Japanese tea). Its vegetables and seafood tempura are as tasty and crunchy as before.
Finished the lunch, top travel sites we walked back to hotel and our room is ready. The smiling top travel sites receptionist top travel sites handed top travel sites us two key cards, our trolley bags were already waiting for us upstairs. Excellent service. We've been travelling for more than 24 hours and felt relieved to finally be in the hotel room. After hot shower, all of us fell asleep until late evening. A proper bed beats sleeping on airplane top travel sites seat anytime.
That night, we went out again to Ikebukuro. It is located a few minutes away by local train, without having to switch line. As I mentioned earlier, Nippori Station top travel sites is part of JR Yamanote Line which covered most of Tokyo's main areas. Unfortunately the weather was not with us during this first day. It was still raining, more heavily this time. We ended up exploring the Tobu department store (which is connected to Ikebukuro Station) and had dinner there. On the way back, we found a Lush Soap outlet (her favourite) and bought a few bars. Only a few made it back to Malaysia, the rest were used within the week.
