Well, I (Allan) am off to China. In the waiting area there was a nice large replica of a dino skeleton. Left Chicago around 10:45 (35 minutes late because of the wind and rain) with a very long line of planes trailing behind us.
Though we were traveling across the time zones, staying between the hours of 11:00 and 15:00, I got to see a sun set and a sun rise because we had traveled so far north.
We had dinner of rice with a veggie curry and a lentil curry. That was very good.
After a sleepless 14 hours of a “lunch hour”, I finally arrived in Shanghai.
