Praying for an upgrade

My trip starts later this morning at the Ottawa International Airport and culminates sometime mid or late August; return details are still being ironed-out. The first leg of my flight to Vietnam is short: Ottawa to Toronto but I then have a 13 hour flight to Tokyo so I'm praying for an upgrade.

Here's a rough idea of what my trip entails:

Ottawa (July 13) -Toronto-Tokyo-Hanoi (July 14)

Hanoi-Sapa (15 – 20 July)

Hanoi- Saigon/HCMC (20 – 29 July)

Mekong Delta: Vinh Long (29 – 30 July)

Saigon – Phnom Penh/Angkor Wat (30 July – 8 August)

Bangkok (8 – 11 August)
- Toupie on the loose in Bangkok!!

As things stand, I should be back in Canada on August 12th - beyond that, I don't know.

And.. since I have a 10 hour layover in Osaka, and if I am still standing, I am going to try to go in to KYOTO!! If all else fails, Osaka Kansai has showers and a 'refresh' room that I can use while I wait for the flight back to the motherland:

Seriously, the Japanese are brilliant! BRILLIANT!

Wish me luck with my upgrade!
