Home for Christmas….
Happy New Year!
Yes, I know that I said I would write the weekend we arrived home but who knew Christmas was less than two weeks away!?
We lucked out at the airport and didn’t have to purchase any extra tickets however, be prepared for a couple of things when travelling through Chinese airports….there are no places to sit nor wheelchairs readily available upon entering the airports. I had a bit of a struggle to hang on to Kevin and steer all the luggage until I got to the check-in counter and ordered him up a chair with a side order of assisant! Straight sailin’ baby after that! We had a two hour delay as the weather in Beijing was not cooperating with the flight schedules. As there was no English being spoken that day, we were unable to find out more details and I am quite positive that they made an announcement for customers on our flight to come pick up a box lunch. We were sitting right in front of the counter where the assistant put us but they never came and gave us anything…..we were the only ones not eating but I peeked into the containers…..we were the lucky ones 
…..not really .
I was feeling really, really rotten and got worse with each passing hour. I looked at Kevin and said ” Gosh, I am really nervous that they won’t let me fly with this heavy cold”……dear husband, who I laboured over for the last month, quickly turned to me, ” Well, if they don’t, I’m not staying, you’re on your own!…I’ve put in my time here, and I’m going home tonight!” Hmm…I see…thanks dear….(REAL COMMENTS have been edited for family presentation )
Air Canada could not have treated us better on the long flight from Beijing to Toronto. Didn’t mind the flight at all. An overnight in TO and onto Charlottetown next day. Amazing group of friends and family met us there….it was very heart warming for us. Thanks guys. Home. Safe. Happy.
Is there really anything more to say
