We all arrived late last night into Shanghai with no issues. The boys were great on the flights, especialy the 15 hour flight from Atlanta to Seoul! Now, to be fair we got lucky and the Korea Air 747 had been very newly remodeld and IBM put us on Business Class and we got even luckier to be on the top floor of the 747. Food was great, service great and the there were more movies, shows and games on the in-seat video's then the kids could watch/play!! We had a nice short layover in Seoul and onto Shanghai arriving around 8:30pm local time Friday night. We definetly looked like we were either moving or going for a LONG trip when we went through customs on both ends and the hotel with 16 suitcases!!! LOL
We got a little bit of sleep, walked around a lot this morning, had a nice outdoor breakfast at a outdoor cafe (no monkey brains for Eli yet!), then walked over to our apartment complex so show them around, then walked about 4 blocks down to the shopping area near our apartment. Looked at and picked out a bike for Eli (he's excited its a 5 speed!) we'll buy when we move into the apartment, Noah is looking at skateboards. Had lunch at the Blue Frog, and loaded up on a few days of drinks/snacks for a total of less then $10 US!! We took a cab back to the hotel for less then $2, and are relaxing for a bit. Oh and we fed the mega cold fish/Koi at the shopping area, so at least I SAW fish today!!
Sunday at 10am we get picked up by the realestate agent to check into the apartment, sign the lease, measure the beds and do some shopping for essentials. We'll probably move in on Monday.
Everyone is well, Dr. gave me the green light the past Monday, still taking some ibuprophen every day or 2, but much better and if no infections won't be back to the Surgeon in the US till mid Jan 08 for my follow-on surgery to remove the cadaver bones and get me back to talking/eating normal (and Beka will like the lack of Cadaver bone as I won't have CSI breath anymore!!! LOL).
Thank you to everyone for your support, help and friendship while we got this trip ready.
More as we settle into the apartment.
