Well today was the first airplane ride!!!! So we shall see how that goes! We made it through the security checkpoints ok!
Well the airplane was a little warm..probably because the temps outside were HOT!!! Joan told us that Chongqing/Fuling was known for the Hot temperatures, Hot food and Hot tempers!!! Boy did she have the Hot weather right!!!!! Needless to say the plane didn't get better. This was going to be a long flight!!! The flight was really bumpy then they brought out the meal...chicken or beef over rice and carrots and warm soda. It was a little rough!
The girls seemed to do ok! We were lucky and no one sat with us so we had the extra seat. Hope enjoyed the room and so did we! We couldn't have landed quick enough!
We were all excited about being back on the bus with air!!!! It was wonderful!!! We rode for about 40 minutes or so to the White Swan Hotel! We had been told that it had been raining alot there. We saw lots of flooded streets! We were also told that the swimming pools were closed because the river had flooded and there were fish in the pool!!!!
After our luggage was delivered, we met up with some of the other families in our group and went to Lucy's for dinner!!! They have a lot of American food! It was the best burger that I had had in awhile! It was almost exciting!!! Hope had mashed potatoes!!! I thought she was going to lick the bowl clean! After dinner, the roads had cleared a little more, so we did what all good American women do, we shopped!!!! There are a lot of neat stores close by to the hotel!
We stopped at one store that makes custom traditional outfits. So they took our measurements and said that they would be ready on Sunday night after 7!
