I had my last “prison break” today. It actually did feel like I was breaking out because I found a shortcut and crawled through a hole in the fence. It cut down on my walk to the BRT. I just sat by a small outdoor restaurant with a smoothie and did some people watching. I know that I won’t be sorry to leave this heat, that’s for sure. I remembered an adage that my teacher once spoke from years ago when propriety for young ladies was paramount: “Horses sweat, men perspire and women glisten.” All I can say is that I have been glistening like a horse for the last six weeks!
Tomorrow, I have an hour flight from Xiamen to Hong Kong; a 4.5 hour layover; an 11.5 hour flight from Hong Kong to Vancouver; customs, a 2 hour wait; a 1.5 hour flight to Calgary; an hour car ride—then HOME! That sounds very sweet. I have missed my boys incredibly.
Thank you for taking this trip with me. I will probably write one or two more blogs as I try to summarize, wrap up and bring my experience to a close.
Hi Heather,
ReplyDeleteWe've been "thinking" about you over the past few weeks. Took time this afternoon to read through all your entries and look at your pictures. Wow! What an experience you have had! Now you are home safely! I will look forward to reading your "after thoughts" and trip home. Keep writing! Keep us informed as to how your family is doing.
God bless! Eleanor
