Almost 24 hours of traveling, and I'm finally sitting in a hotel in Shanghai with my giant bags open and my belongings strewn across the room. I will have quite the mess to clean up when orientation ends in a few days and I'm shipped off to Baoding. For now, however, I'm here.
The flights were unremarkable: the movies ran together, the food was unidentifiable, the babies were howling. As could all be expected. Now I feel like a new person after a hot shower, a cold bottle of water and some clean pajamas. Its almost 130am and I think I had better hit the hay if I plan to be at breakfast at 7. So goodnight, many more updates to come!

ReplyDeleteHugs to you, world-traveler. So glad you're getting tucked in.
ReplyDeleteSo what will the next couple days look like?
Did you know that on Grandpa Jim's side of the family there were some rather famous missionaries to China? I've seen a very old newspaper article about them.
Can't wait to hear more.....
Beth, I didn't know that, where can I find more info?
