  I'm in the midst of my first international trip for Big Blue.&nbsp; A very painless Sunday morning flight to Tokya Narita airport today.&nbsp; I was concerned that there was not going to be much english to read on the signs and I was somewhat surprised.&nbsp; Most airport, street and informational signs flashed both Kanji and English. &nbsp; The bus trip to Yokohama was also fairly easy; however, the time difference was hitting me pretty hard.&nbsp; I thought I was going to drool on the Japanese gentleman next to me.&nbsp; I met Susan and another employee of mine today...Linda.&nbsp; Linda is going to be very important for the resilience team.
&nbsp; The registration for the conference and the cocktail reception is at 7pm this evening.&nbsp; I'm sitting in my hotel room switching television stations between a Queen retrospective and CNNj.&nbsp; During the flight I watched Hidalgo (not a bad movie) and Jersey Girl (Ben Affleck has some serious career rejuvination to do). &nbsp; Anyway...that's it for today.&nbsp; I'll check in later.
