Planes, trains, and automobiles

| A very sleepy me |
After taking two busses, flying in two airplanes, riding the subway, taking a bullet train, riding in a taxi, and traveling for approximately twenty-six hours straight, I've safely made it from Edinburgh, Scotland to Hefei, China. Jean-Jacques and I are rather pleased that we successfully navigated the trip, even though there were a few mistakes along the way (we accidentally got of a bus at the wrong railroad station).
We've eaten a big Chinese dinner (it was delicious!), taken showers, and are about to crash into bed. Fortunately, we don't have anything scheduled tomorrow until dinner -- that should give us an opportunity to sleep in and adjust to the new time zone.
Yeah! You made it safely. I can't wait to hear the story of the wrong train station: how did you solve that one?
ReplyDeleteToo late to say "Sleep well" but I'll wish it anyway.
What a tour de force you had getting back home. Hope you're rested up a bit by now. You and JJ and stored away some wonderful memories on your trip. So glad you went!
ReplyDeleteGrandma, we actually aren't back home yet. We're in Hefei for four days for our mid-year conference. We should be back in Anqing in a couple of days. Hope you and Grandpa are well!
ReplyDeleteYo, Katie,
ReplyDeleteWonderful trip you've had, and thanks for your photos and descriptions. We'll look forward to Skyping again when you get back to Anqing.
We're doing fine, if a bit creaky in a joint here and there.
XXOO to you both.
Grandpa, we'll be back in Anqing sometime tomorrow (Monday, China time). We'll try to call on Tuesday or Wednesday. Glad to hear you're doing well, despite the fact that you're a little creaky.
