Travel = Torture?

One downside of living in the country: Getting anywhere takes forever. I'm headed back to the States today. My plane leaves from Kansai International Airport at 6pm. Here's my travel pre-flight travel itinerary:

11:15 - head down to bus stop early to be sure not to miss it.
11:30 - catch bus to Yamasaki
11:50 - arrive in Yamasaki
11:51 - sit for 40 MINUTES in the blandish bus station on earth
12:30 - bus to Himeji
1:20 - arrive at Himeji Bus Station, sit for a half hour
1:50 - get on the "Airport Limousine" bus
4:00 - arrive at KIX, check in, wait two more hours

A MERE 7 HOURS of sitting on busses and in stations!
And then I have the 14 hours in the air (plus 2 hour layover!) to look forward to!

USA here I come!!!!
