HONOLULU TO NARITA, TOKYO

First, though:

• Maine shooter Robert Card is dead, self-inflicted.
• Are we headed to war with Iran?  The Hamas-Israel War and Syrian incidents were all orchestrated by Iran.  What about Russia and China?

• 
  Before you go to sleep Saturday night, turn back your clock one hour.  By a 63% to 16% majority, Americans don't like to do this, and statistics show these two changes/year are just not good for society.  Congress is attempting do something, and, if anything, will keep it always at daylight savings time.  Hawaii, and a few other locations in the U.S., don't make any changes.
• 
  When is Halloween Night?  Every year it is observed on October 31, which is a Tuesday this year.  The celebration marks the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints, or All Hallows Day, from where comes Halloween.  Goes back to the Celts and the festival of Samhain, mentioned in the earliest Irish literature from the 9th century.

Not much to say about our Honolulu to Tokyo flight because we are at the airport.  However, here are the top 10 airports in the world:

1. Singapore (SIN) 90.12
2. Istanbul (IST) 87.62
3. Seoul Incheon (ICN) 87.15
4. Doha (DOH) 86.78
5. Zurich (ZRH) 83.79
6. Hong Kong (HKG) 83.41
7. Tokyo Haneda (HND) 83.02
8. Dubai (DXB) 82.40
9. Helsinki (HEL) 81.13
10. New Delhi (DEL) 80.88

I've landed in all these cities, although Istanbul has a relatively new airport, and I haven't been to Turkey in at least six years.

Well, if I take any photos at the Honolulu International Airport, for surely we will be in some airline lounge, I'll add to this posting.  But if not, see you in Tokyo.

Actually, I can add two photos to clear my desktop.  We yesterday had lunch at Pad Thai in the Salt Lake Shopping Center.  An excellent fried chicken and okay red curry coconut dish.  Interesting that there must be six restaurants in this shopping area, and the other five were almost devoid of customers.
