Next stop - China

Well, I took Mike to the airport today to head off to the other side of the world. His plane took off from Kalamazoo at 1:30. He called me at 3 to tell me he was sitting on the plane in Detroit that will deliver him to Shanghai. He will arrive there tomorrow morning between 8 and 9 AM. With all the time zones he crosses, it will be between 8 and 9 PM in China. They are 12 hours ahead of us. He will then spend the night in Shanghai and get on a plane the following morning to head for Xiamen - his final destination. I do worry a little when he flies so far, but he really enjoys it, and it is warm there, should have temps in the 70's. On a happy note for all of you, Mike will try to post pictures and comments on our blog from China to keep everyone informed about what he is doing. The cats and I will now head off to bed - one is purring at my feet and one snoring (who knew cats can snore almost as loud as people) under the bed. This is going to be a long 2 weeks.
