China Trip: Getting There

December 14: Went to dinner at Saltgrass with Mama, Daddy, Matthew, Eugenia and Walter. Went to airport. Flight to LA was ok. LA airport was hell. No signs and had to ask half a dozen people before we got to the correct terminal for international flights.

December 15: 14 hour flights suck!!! I took a mecklizine before boarding and then a dramamine after dinner (very bland roast, carrots, and potatoes; decent cheesecake). I slept good for about 5-6 hours then woke up feeling sick. Used my barf bag and Marcus'. Somewhere on this hellish flight we crossed the international date line.

December 16: After I got over my pukiness things looked up. We got breakfast, choice of either pancakes or fish and rice, both served with raspberry yogurt, fruit, and a muffin. I ate my muffin and Marcus'.
Spent 5 hours in the Seoul airport. Although it's more like a shopping mall that happens to also have an airport in it. Ate a mocha latte and a chocolate covered SOY donut at Dunkin Donuts. Found an internet cafe and skyped our parents. Ate dinner at KFC.
Quick, easy flight to Qingdao. Minor issue going through customs with Marcus' passport. Met Lucy, did a hospital tour, a few quick tests, went grocery shopping and now unpacking and settling in. Still kind unreal.
