We had a fabulous morning getting ready to travel and not being rushed since we did not fly until 4:15pm. We ended up with four bags and 3 weighed exactly 50 lbs each and ended up taking one more so we were not over weight. We have 3 carry on bags and our back pack weighs 2 tons with the paperwork and lap top. It totally hit me coming up the cut through the hill going to the airport that we were finally leaving for China. My eyes welled with tears that it is really happening and we are China bound. Mom and Dad went to the airport with us so they could take the car back to their home. It was nice to have them there to see us off on our trip.
The trip was packed from CVG to LA. Our bags are checked to Nanchang however we do not have our boarding passes yet for China Southern. That is where the story begins. We got into LA on time and headed to the Delta Sky Club. Love having the AMEX benefits to use the Sky Club when you have a long layover. We got something to drink then Mike decided to goto the Intl terminal and leave me in the sky club to get our boarding passes. It is about a 10 minute walk to the terminal and the China Southern gates were not open until 7:30pm. Then I get the call that my honey can not get back in to the Delta terminal by security because he does not have a ticket. He was finally able to get a boarding pass from our last flight from the Delta ticket counter and security let him in. The moral of our journey is we are not leaving each other again while traveling. We are still in states and had issues so will not chance it in China. Next post will be from China.
Good night and sweet dreams!
