Made it to China!

Hi from LaGuardia Airport! Saying goodbye to my family was very tough, but my folks came down for my sendoff, and that made things a bit easier on our daughters.

I got a great deal on my flight to China, but it involved a bit of a rough outbound itinerary. I flew from Orlando to New York on Saturday evening, and after an extended layover here, fly from New York to Chicago in the morning to catch the Chicago-Shanghai flight.

As I said, I really shouldn’t complain, as my travel agent spent a very long time with me in order to get this great deal. I even told her about Packages of Hope and what I was doing, which made her work all the harder to book the flights in the time window I was looking for.

But sitting here in the airport at 2am at an all-night cafe, I realize the price I have to pay for the good airfare.
