After leaving the house at 2:00am CST Monday morning (way too early!) to catch a 5:15am flight to Shanghai, I safely arrived at 1:30pm local time Tuesday afternoon. 2 hour flight from MSP to ATL and 15 hours from ATL to PVG.
Unfortunately for a business college of mine, he had to take the same plane back home immediately. When he turned his phone on after landing in Shanghai, there were numerous messages. He daughter was taken to the hospital for a medical emergency and his wife asked that he come back home ASAP. He was in China for an 1 1/2 to 2 hours at the most. Clear Chinese customs, rebook, back through customs and on the 3:30pm flight. Hopefully everything is okay back home.
I'll be staying at the Grand Metro Hotel in Suzhou until Saturday. http://www.metroparkhotels.com/hotel/eng/index.php?hotel=suzhou
For dinner tonight we ate a traditional Japanese restaurant (lots of sushi & etc.). Yes, I said Japanese! I'm sure I'll be dining on plenty of Chinese dishes over the next 10 days.
