Around The World In 72 Days - Closing Out China (Pictures Coming...Promise!)

Our time in China is just about at an end. What a whirlwind! We got back to the Pooh Lee Shah Resort late on Wednesday on a decidedly less enjoyable flight back from Xi'an than our China Eastern flight out. Flying a discount airline, arriving in Shanghai's Pudong airport (the main one) is a pain because you come into gates that are as far away as humanly possible meaning an incredible schlepp to get out.

Things in Pulandia were reaching a complete crescendo as the very high level work being done by Venerable Pu (who in an alternate reality works in the Foreign Service) was to be completed the following day (I will give more detail on this in future post). So it was a late evening, early morning, and very busy day Thursday.

Friday was a total recuperation for everyone. We had a lovely final meal, and spent time finally working on picture. Family time play vicious games of Uno (a tradition) completed our last day. Today, Saturday, we are off to the airport for a two leg journey to Krabi, Thailand (with overnight stay in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) where we will be staying for two weeks. 

MANY photo posts from the last week and a half will be coming up once we get settled in the new locale.

Uno is a great family tradition. We played it a lot with my mom's family.

Safe travels!
