Meanwhile Back at the Ranch

I dropped the kids off at school
Came home
Had my hand in the cabinet getting out my favorite coffee mug to soak in a nice quiet day after a couple of very hectic and emotional couple of days
and my phone rang.

The school.
Joey has pink eye.

Super.
One hour
One doctors visit
and one prescription later and here we are.
Chilaxin at home together today.

Got an email from John.
They arrived
though exhausted,
they are all checked into their hotel room in Shanghai.
I.Am.So.Relieved.

This was the part I was worried about the most quite honestly.
He has no guide service in Shanghai,
no shuttle waiting for him.
He had to stumble off that plane
get through customs
find a taxi
and communicate to the driver in Chinglish which hotel an hour away they needed to get to.
All without losing our 13 year old
the oxygen concentrator
and an important folder with a few thousand important things inside
all while not entirely coherent or rested.

Whew.

They made it.

They will explore Shanghai all day tomorrow and then train into Hangzhou on Sunday morning.
He is under strict orders to photograph darn near everything during the trip so betch yer booty, pictures will be coming.

3 Days till Gotcha Day!
12 Days till Home!
