I'm Here

I am in China!!! Just a quick post to let everyone know that I have arrived safe and sound. Trip was somewhat uneventful. My flight leaving Buffalo was delayed a few hours which left me less than 2 hours in NYC to get to the interntional terminal, check in to receive my boarding pass, check my carry on (which cost be $200 since it was my 3rd checked bag but since it was heavy they wouldn't let me carry it on), go through security again, and find my gate. Oh yeah and grab a quick bite to eat before boarding. So all that said and done, I only had about half an hour.

 

Flight was good, just LONG. And thanks for all of my birthday wishes! I was proud of myself since I actually rememembered it was my birthday. I opened the birthday cards I had after I crossed the international date line. Not many peopel can do that!

 

It feels so good to be here. I'm in northern China right now where I was a few years ago and will fly south on Sunday to where I'll actually be. I'll be spending the next few days visiting friends and kids I know here still. Keep me in your thoughts as I adjust to the time change and life back in China.

 

I'll hopefully be able to post pictures soon!
