japan 2015 journal entry 1

So, this is my first trip to Japan. Woke up at 4:30am Denver time. Outta the house a couple of minutes past 5. Left with plenty of time thanks to Catherine's suggestion, and that was a good thing since the shuttle out of Pikes Peak parking decided to do an extra lap of people picking up. Running log of transportation so far: Car, parking shuttle, airport gate train, and now getting ready to board the flight to San Fran. Nothing too out of the normal so far. I've already run into three fellow bct "associates". Two random things to note: Our Japanese company prefers the term associates to employees. We are not employees, we are associates. Secondly, over decided to adopt the British convention for user of double quotes; it just makes more s sense than the Yankee way.
