Four days 'til we travel across the world. It's a 13-14 hour trip on plane, talk about jet lag. I heard if you sleep for most of it the jet lag won't be as bad. Sounds like I'll be catching up on my rest. We go west across the Pacific Ocean. It'll be hard to adjust to the varying time zone of 12 hours difference. We arrive earlier than most of the other families we'll be traveling with.
The first day we visit the Temple of Heaven, an old place of worship to the gods, and the Summer Palace, a natural place with beautiful gardens. It'll be strange seeing the different culture carrying on around us. I hope to pick up the language more once we're there. It will be interesting trying the new delicacies, paying with the different currency, immersing ourselves in new perspectives.
I'll miss my dad, but he'll enjoy this. After all he gets to eat the foods he likes, watch and play golf to his heart's content, and not clean up -that is until we get home.
