January 29th - Pack it up, pack it in

Like the title says, it was packing day today. Thanks to a brother who will remain nameless, I am now the proud owner of a large suitcase. I managed to cram all of my stuff all in one!! Now that's convenient! Now if my bag gets lost, I'm totally screwed! Actually, I have full confidence in baggage handlers. They are known to be reliable, well-paid, popular individuals. Or at least that's what their handlers tell me.

Now I have to TRY to go to sleep. With a crazy trip like this ahead of me, how can anyone sleep though?? I phoned a taxi to come pick us up tomorrow morning, and then I called back a few hours later to double-check that they got the correct address. THhey had no record of the order, and the guy tried to tell me that my street didn't exist. Pshaw! Pshaw indeed!

So hopefully my next post will come from somewhere in the magical land of China. That is, if the taxi ever arrives to take us to the airport.
