rivendellrose | important question re: inflatable pillows

Forgot to ask this earlier because I managed with my towel and sweater, but... am I the only idiot in the world who can't figure out how to blow up one of those damned inflatable neck-pillow things they sell for travel, or is there some kind of trick to it? It's got a... er... inflate-y-bit just like if you're blowing up some kind of inflatable pool toy, but no matter how hard I puff, I can't get the slightest inflation. Tried biting the... mouth-bit thing and all, thinking maybe there was a catch or something... nothing. Anybody?

Off to find correct terminal so that I can wait without worry...

Edited @ 9:25am Have successfully found correct terminal. The international stuff is all in a different building. Apparently this is meant to somehow be intuitive. Sorry, I come from a city where the airport only has one building. Although this does explain why the other building I started out at was so damned chintzy-looking. I thought that seemed a bit bizarre for a big international airport. :P This building is much nicer, albeit also under construction in parts, and with excessively long empty halls in others. Quite strange. But the terminals themselves are very nice.

I'll probably be dropping communication soon, to save my battery for the trip. Next time you hear from me, I'll be in Tokyo!
