Stateside

We couldn't have asked for a better travel buddy! Ava-Yin did great. We left our hotel at 8:30am and flew out of Guangzhou and into Beijing.

SECURITY was thorough at this place. At least four different checkpoints. We even had one on the bridge leading into the aircraft!!

Our flight to Detroit was 13 hours. She played, watched the tv screens, ate, etc. until 2am and then finally crashed for the last couple of hours.

We got put at the front of our very own customs line, so we avoided major wait times and gridlocks. And just like that, she became an American citizen! And we were done with our international travel.

From landing to our hotel shuttle was approximately 30 mins. Waaaay faster than I was expecting;)

We stayed up until 9pm and managed to sleep til 3:15am. Jet lag. Blah.

 We're hanging around the hotel for a while longer and then head to the airport for our final hop home!!
