Flying Over Mt. Fuji
I am really sick. I've been working too much and am just worn down. I started developing a runny nose and sore throat while I was in Japan and by the time I got home yesterday I was in bad shape adding a fever and a pounding headache to my list of symptoms. All in all, I had a miserable flight. 
There were two highlights from my trip home, however. First, I got a business class upgrade which was wonderful. For as sick as I was on the plane I can't even imagine how rough it would have been back in coach. At least with the reclining seats I got a little bit of sleep.
Second, I had the most spectacular view of Mt. Fuji from the plane. Whenever I take the Shinkansen (bullet train) from Nagoya to Tokyo or fly home from Nagoya I always make sure to look out the window to try and get a glimpse of Mt. Fuji. I climbed it (with Trisha, of course!) back in July 2008 and there is something really special about the mountain. The perfect cinder cone, standing alone is really a sight to behold. I can never see it enough.
On this flight as we flew over the Japanese Alps I had some amazing views of the mountains with gorgeous blue skies and bright white puffy clouds.
I kept my eyes glued on the window and then a little over half an hour into the flight I spotted Mt. Fuji rising majestically out of the clouds. It was so amazing looking that it didn't seem real.
Sights like that always remind me of what a truly amazing world we live in.
