I just survived a 40 hour plane ride to and from China. In the last four days, I have flown to China (20+ hours) and back (20+ hours), equalling 40 grueling hours on 3 cramped airplanes. I would NEVER recommend this type of travel to anyone. God bless those business people who travel like this on a regular basis!
One bit of advice to anyone who ever plans to make this trip:
Take LOTS of things to do on the plane!
books, magazines, crossword puzzles, papers to grade, reports to write, video games, iPods, playing cards, journals, and anything else to keep your mind and hands busy.
The Short...
I was in China a total of 24 hours! During the time I was there, I cleaned the apartment, visited a Chinese grocery story, ate some Chinese food, saw some Chinese people, took a riverboat ride down the Pearl River, and slept. Not much of a mission, but everything happens for a reason...this reason, only the Father knows. A short trip...but hopefully, soon I will be able to see the purpose of it.
****************************************************
I am not sure how I feel about it all. I am still trying to process all the details of the past 4 days. Look for other entries in the days to come...as I allow the Father to dwell in my heart and give me the understanding that I need.
I am in Dallas and plan to stay here. I will try to go back to China next year. If you are reading this and want to call, I would love to hear from you.

Wow! I have been praying for you and your trip. Obviously something has not gone as planned. I hope you share this as I am curious. As for the plane trip, I think that can be a nightmare in itself. It is tough being "stuck" in one are for so long without any comforts. Glad you had a safe trip and look forward to hearing from you soon.
I forgot, my blog doesn't have my name. It is from a PFK last semester. It is me, Kyra.
