Sitting at Osaka airport biz lounge. Think only people in here are Regent passengers. People very upset that Regent dropped us here at 9 AM for 5 PM flight. Couldn't even check in until 1:30 so we sat with our luggage and took turns watching each others while others shopped. Best shopping in Japan at this airport. Still have another 2 hours before boarding but at least it is semi-cool in lounge - not airport. This airport mess is the only fiasco of an otherwise fabulous trip. I have learned a valuable lesson - no day room from Regent I'll get my own & I have a chance to test this out in another 2 months. Most are planning to complain to Gair. It is nice having the Internet back in the lounge. No Internet in the airport.
Hope to do more segments of this Asia loop one of these years. My only other advise to DRAGON people is bring clothes for hot/humid weather.
More when I get home. At least we still have Suzanne & John's seamail before the Dragon people board. pictures in about 1 week.
