Our Airbus 319 to Paris is ready for boarding.	Our kids sent us their stuffed toys along to wish us well.	Turn off the phone and then we can take off.	Looking forward to a nice vacation.
The little mouse can enjoy all of our trip that way.	The stuffed toys always watch over us during the flight.	Arrived in Osaka.	Just an hour later we are in the train to Osaka.
Somewhat stressed from the flight but happy.	This funny nose belonged to our Airport Express train.	The Lufthansa A380 "Tokio" is taking off to Frankfurt - Mike, Sylvia, and Thomas are on board of this flight.	This big bird is always very impressive when taking off.
The Air France A380 is hiding pretty much from curious photographers.	But during boarding I can finally get a good view on the big nose.	I am getting comfortable in the upper deck for the next 12 or so hours.	I am touring the aircraft and the first class cabin before take off with the steward taking photographs for me.
There's a sleeping cabin right behind the flight deck.	These are really huge engines on that aircraft.	But first we have to wait for a Delta 747 which is taxiing to its gate.	While our Air France flight already taxis for take off we meet the just arrived KLM 747.
Before getting on the runway we have to wait for another landing aircraft.	And shortly after that we're airborne.	Mt. Fuji is giving a nice appearance shortly after take off.	Sayonara to Japan with a final view on Mt. Fuji.
We're getting closer to Paris doing our final turns.	Today we landed 45 minutes ahead of schedule.	My first A380 flight is now over.	We're flying pretty long through the dawn over Siberia.
