Plane trip to China
I got to the airport early in case of a problem. I was there too early. I had to wait for the check in desk to open. I got a coffee and waited and waited and waited. Finally, the desk was open and I could check in. I was still very early to wait for the plane. I read a bit of my book and ate a small pizza. The plane check in was very efficient for so many people. The plane is a 747B. I was in the fourth from the last row with two other ladies from "People to People". One was from Mississippi and the other Denver. We worked well together for the whole flight of 14 hours. As you all know, I can't sit for 10 minutes. Can you imagine 14 hours!! We were served a dinner as the flight began. We flew up towards Alaska over to Japan and finally Hong Kong! I did get up and wander around the plane, but my seat was very sore! I did eat conge chicken for breakfast. Conge was very much like water down chicken grits. The flight was uneventful until, the lady from Mississippi threw up, she did well to confine it to her area. However, when the stewardess cleaned up, she spilled it on my seat! Yuck!! So, I continued the trip with many blankets on my seat! We landed in Hong Kong and found our next flight to Beijing. People followed me thinking I knew what I was doing. At least ,I lead them in the right direction.We only had an hour between flights and were soon on our way to Beijing. Another three hour flight!! I did watch many movies on both trips and was very glad to arrive in Beijing. Customs was very easy, bags were collected and we were soon on our way to the Hotel. I couldn't wait to take a shower! I did leave at 12:00am on Nov.30 and landed on December 2! What happened for me to lose a day?
