Day 39

Well on Friday morning, the 5th of August, I traveled home. My flight left at 9 am. I arrived at the airport at 7 am. When I was about half way through the line, they moved some others and me to another line. I was only about three people from the counter. When I got to the counter, they sent me back to the other line. I was getting frustrated by this point, when I got to the counter they told me the plane was over booked and I could not get on. They first wanted to put me on a flight at 5:30. After another 2 hours of waiting, they were able to get me on a flight with another company at noon. This was how I started my 24 hours of travel to make it home. In the end, I managed to get home two hours earlier than planned and can now say I visited California. J It feels very good to back in the states and be able to see my family and friends. Although this was the end of my travels, it is not the end of my journey. This trip will have lifelong affects on my life. I really enjoyed my time there and am very glad I had the opportunity. It has changed my outlook on foreign affairs and different cultures. I thank God for blessing me with this opportunity and Dr. Thaler for helping plan the trip. I am also very grateful for all of the companies and individuals I traveled with in China.
