Trip of a Lifetime
Anne and I are on our Real Vacation. We are going to China. We left yesterday, and flew to San Francisco for a two day lay over to adjust to the time change, and it's 12 hours difference in China.
The "adventure" involved a 3 hour delay because something was wrong with the plane. Really, I'd rather they get it right before we take off. But we arrived in SF about 11 o,clock our time-EST. Good night rest, and now out on the town. We will go into the city and see the "T bone" itself. Hope there aren't any earth quakes!
There will be a lot of moving around on this trip, so I hope I have time to keep you all up with our adventure. What a great feeling to leave the "shoulds and oughts" at home, and head into the world for observation, investigation, and learning.
I have wanted to go to China for a long time mainly because it is so different than my home town, Chicago. New culture, different ideas, great opportunity. I surmise that it will be similar to other travels I have had in that the people turn out to look different, wear different clothes, have different customs, but the same in their fundamental desires, needs, and aspirations.
More to follow, I hope.
