Day 105: December 18. Homeward Bound.

What a long day! We woke up at 6:30 and scurried around finishing packing and cleaning up after ourselves, before hopping in a cab to the airport.

We checked in and enjoyed our flight immensely because there was a really cute baby sitting next to us. It didn't matter that he only spoke Mandarin and we obviously don't...he still liked playing with us!

Our layover passed quickly with all the errands that we had to do: exchange money, eat lunch, spray ourselves with perfume, and of course write a list of the wonderful things we didn't want to forget.

Then came the long plane ride. Luckily we had personal TVs to keep us company...we each watched 4 movies! Hey, we had to figure out some way to pass 15.5 hours!

We had some delays coming in, and then were taxiing after landing for a half hour, then there was a long customs line, then we had to wait quite some time for our bags to come...and then suddenly we were surrounded by our families and four months worth of questions and embraces. And somehow, without ceremony, it was all over. Karla and Alicia went their separate ways to separate states.

The End.
