And now the other adventure begins...
Leaving in a couple hours for Xi'an via Shanghai via Los Angeles. I leave PDX at 5:45 pm and arrive in Xi'an at 1:40 pm Sunday afternoon. I lose 15 hours but also spend a good 8 hours in airport time. Kindle is all charged up, bags are packed, ready to go! I think my bags' weights are ok but they still feel awfully heavy. Judging against Alisha's usual baggage weight I'd say I'm borderline...
I'm reminded of my 25th birthday when I was seated in a room in Abu Dhabi (10 ft. x 10 ft.) with a guy and a big submachine gun watching over me. The sponsor to let me into the country hadn't shown up and they were going to fly me back to Paris. At that time I was asking myself what the hell I was doing!
This should be fun though (unlike working on an oil rig) and I'll try to share some of it with you!
