Home, Sweet Home!

It's great to be home.

After leaving Guangzhou...we boarded another airplane headed for Los Angeles. This airplane was the worst yet. Three of my group mates including myself became ill on the plane. Dizziness, unbalanced, vomiting, headache; it was so awful that in Los Angeles one of our groupmates had to go to the hospital. I hope she and her family are doing ok. They had a rough time in China. First the baby is hospitalized and then the momma.

In Los Angeles we had an 11 hour layover. Thank goodness since I was so ill. I went to a hotel and crashed only to get up still ill and head for the airport to yes another airplane. On top of being sick in Los Angeles, TSA (Transportation Security Administration) gave Karen's passport to another family. After an hour of waiting for them to return the passport, David asked what was the deal. They then admitted to the mistake and said, sorry. We now have to find the family and get the passport back. We have their child's passport which looks nothing like Karen. So here we go with another child's passport through two more security check points having to explain that TSA made the mix-up. They were about to search us and our bags because of the mismatch when a lady official said they've been through enough let them go. Thank you to that lady! Remember I was as sick as a dog during this mess.

When we reached home I have never been so happy in all my life. I will never get on another airplane without a dire emergency. Three or is it four airplane without good airpressure and I've had enough to last my lifetime. During this trip David lost 10 pounds and I lost 18 pounds. Bryan on the other hand gained 6 pounds and Karen gained 2 and a half. I thought we ate well.

We will forever remember China as a special place where our daughter first became to apple of our eyes.
