Gate 33: Possibly the World’s Best Airport Sushi
I love Minneapolis although I have never truly been to the city. But wow…what a great airport.
Bangkok has one of those “super airports” with lots of shopping and fun things to do inside. There are even massages on every corner of the airport terminal. I had to fly back home through Atlanta which is always tough. The facilities are poor and it is a terrible thing getting through the terminal buildings. Personally I prefer Chicago, given that Atlanta is one of the busiest airports in the world.
Nice surprises awaited me in Narita however. While on my layover there, I went looking for a sushi bar. A kind Delta staff member recommended that I try a great sushi place opposite Gate 33. What a surprise and a revelation – it was the best sushi I have ever had! It also had the best miso soup that I ever have tried and the hot sake was superb too.
All was so good that I doubled my order and they repackaged it to go so I could bring it on my 12 hour journey to Atlanta. Smartest thing I ever did! Now for my hometown of Boston – well Logan is an airport in serious need of help. But enough of airports for a few days, it’s good to be on home soil once more.

Knowing the important difference between a trip that’s mediocre and one that’s extraordinary, he built ACIS from a deep belief and understanding that ACIS group leaders and participants deserve the best—from itinerary development to hotels to perhaps most importantly, the people hired to guide teachers and students throughout the journey.
