I'm finally off! Friday was a crazy mix of running errands, packing, tying up loose ends and taking Caroline to Sky Harbor. I made my necessary farewells to everyone and got a ride to the airport (6am, ugh) from Morgan, whom I bamboozled into giving me a ride the other night.
I'm finally excited to hit Beijing--I also managed to fit everything into my nice normal sized orange LL Bean bag. Everyone else brought like ridiculous amounts of clothes and bags and whatever. I'll just buy what I need. I'm hoping Beijing won't be too cold, as I did not bring a serious winter coat; I plan to have James In Beijing's tailor, Mr. Ding, hook me up with a cute little 18th century riding habit style coat. Yes, like the Cylons, I have a plan.
I just have to get through the flight to SFO on US Airways, and then the 14 hour long trans Pacific flight to Beijing. Donny (our Beida contact) promises to have a bus pick us up at the airport at 4pm local time on Sunday. See you all on the flip side!
