The girls and I get to the airport early because Jim's international flight leaves an hour before our domestic flight. We all have early morning flights. I figure, we all check in....get through security and get breakfast. Wrong. Despite all of us being at Terminal 2....international quickly gets separated from domestic. Bummer. The girls and I get in line to check in....wait....get out of line because they have to potty....Mom has to start throwing elbows in the bathroom because the concept of waiting in lines and kindness towards children who really have to "go" appears very elusive...get back in line to check in....get in line for security...get through security....and then realize there are no restaurants to speak of. MAJOR bummer. Thank goodness for the emergency rations in my carry-on bag.
OK. That was my venting for the evening. So, we get on a direct (hooray!) flight to Chengdu. Thankfully, it's not Delta (double hooray!). Any airline these days seems to be better than Delta. The girls and I camp out at my mom's apartment for the next 2 weeks. Here's the night view from her apartment window. It's such a shame the city is seemingly just as polluted as Beijing (and mosquito infested). Never saw the sky here either....but the night view is quite nice. (Mostly because you can't see the polluted air as well at night).
Below are the girls in front of the bridge (lit up in the picture above). It's quite pretty and has a very nice restaurant on the bridge. Do you like their newly acquired chinese sun visors (complete with solar powered fan and sunglasses)?
