Arriving at the Detroit Metro Airport, we all successfully checked in our bags, and made our way to the gate. We are waiting to take off and are hoping for an amazing trip. Everyone is very excited to have a wonderful adventure. We are waiting for the flight to take off. After we got through security, we went on walk through the airport, looking for a candy store. We didn't find it! One of the chaperones lost his glasses, but by grace of God and the power of physics it turned out that he had simply left them in his bag. Our Chinese teacher has made repeated attempts to capture us, Chinese students and parents alike, in compromising positions of cheerfulness, but we will never yield to her subversive attacks on our public image. Oh yes also the plane is incredibly hot and someone just got shot by a cop in the book I €a™m reading. We are all so very excited to be traveling to China this spring! We have all been anticipating this since early October, and the fact that it is finally happening is nothing short of surreal. We are beyond ecstatic to see what is in store for us once we land in Shanghai.
The plane is incredibly hot but it is okay because I can sit next to my best bud Mike J. There is a maintenance issue (something to do with the falange), so we've been sitting back and waiting to enjoy the flight.
I a™m really excited to finally be going to China!!! I ha€™ve been looking forward to this trip for a really long time. I hope that they fix the issue with the plane fast so we can finally get on our way to China.
The plane will take off at 1:00pm on April 2, and which is the mid night in China. It will be 13 hour flight, and we will land at Pu Dong airport on 2:30pm on April 3. I hope we all could take a good sleep on the plane, because after we landing, and put our stuff away, we will Stroll along the Bund to see fascinating array of architectural styles. I wonder what the dinner will be? I couldn't wait for the real Chinese food.
We stayed up late to help with the time change and I am pretty tired. Reading while we wait for takeoff but I plan to have a good nap at some point. My first time on a plane this big a I feel like a country bumpkin! Very excited to travel with this group. Everyone seems really nice!
The plane is huge!! It has two levels to it, and is completely full. To be honest I was kind of scared to get on a plane this size, the turbulence is kind of freaking me out too, so that doesn'™t help. Besides that the flight has been really peaceful so far (everyone is sleeping, probably what I should be doing too!!!) Still 8 more hours until we land in Shanghai!!
We all slept very well, and the breakfast is buffet!
