Bound for China

I promised news of my upcoming trip to China and here is the first of many posts you will read about this adventure. 

I am leaving for China in 5 days! To be exact, my flight is at 1:20 PM on the Friday after Thanksgiving, November 24. I fly from San Francisco non-stop to Beijing where I arrive on Saturday at 5:25 PM after a 12 hour flight. I’m planning to watch movies, read lots, perhaps do some writing and crosswords, and take my Melatonin for sleeping! I seem to be able to enter a "zone" when I fly in which the time miraculously goes by and I am content and happy. Perhaps traveling is in my blood.

After I arrive in Beijing, I have 2 hours and 20 minutes to go thru customs and get to my next flight to Xi’an which is where I will volunteer teaching English to primary school children for two weeks. Someone from Cross-Cultural Solutions will meet me at the airport and take me to the Home Base.

I begin my volunteering on Monday or Tuesday, I’m not sure which.

You’ll be hearing more as I learn more.
