I have the bags packed and weighed. I am ready to go. Tomorrow I get on the Peoria Charter Coach and head to the airport. Thursday morning at 1 AM we leave for Xian. We have 18 hours of flying time and about 6 hours for the lay overs and then 2:30 PM, Friday we will arrive at Xian. That is when the adventure will start. We will find out what the people of XAIU have planned for us to do. I hope we get time for a good nights sleep. I am sure they have something planned. I know we will need to go shopping and we will need to get our cell phones.
I will actually carry a cell phone, because students will need to be able to get a hold of me if they need to. Carrying a cell phone is something I have never done before. At work I have carried a radio in my back pocket for over 30 years but I don't carry a cell phone.
At the North campus my co-workers had a farewell lunch for me. Nothing says have a good trip like a 5$ hot and ready pizza. Thank you all very much.
Tomorrow JoAnne and I will go out to eat and then I will go meet the bus. JoAnne will go to ICC North for the Culinary Arts Supper and taste the foods of Latin America. The culinary arts meals are one thing I will miss while I am in China. I do hope to bring back some cookbooks for the culinary program. I also hope to learn how to make some real Chinese food.
