Default Great trip, great food?

Nice trip, good seat, great food.

I ordered a part I needed from Apple last week and it wasn’t available
from a warehouse in the USA, so it was shipped from overseas.

What a trip! It started off somewhere in China, made its way to
Shanghai, now a beautiful, modern city, where, I am sure, it ate some
terrific meals and slept in a first-rate hotel. It spent several days
sightseeing in Shanghai before leaving for...

Nariti-shi, the Narita International Airport, the one that serves Tokyo.
I hope the sushi was fresh.

Then, another international flight to Palinville, aka Alaska, from where
you can see Russia from every front porch and Canada from every back
porch. The salmon was fresh there and after a few good meals and being
chased by Mama Pitbull Moose, the part was put on another plane, this
one headed for...

Memphis...

Barbecue, Elvis, and Beale Street. Great partying.

And then, a quick flight to Dulles Airport in Virginia. Bad food, lousy
parking, the state of transvaginal probes and a corrupt governor. Hope
my part isn’t raped in Virginia once it is on that delivery truck.

What a trip. Wish I had taken it.

In reverse order (and apparently the stop in Japan takes into account
time zone differences):
