Day 7 Shanghai to Home!

The next day we woke up early to pack and take the metro to the airport. From there we flew back to Beijing so that we could catch our international flight back to Seattle. Unfortunately, our Hainan Air flight was delayed by two hours, and we had to sit in the plane that whole time waiting. Also, Eihab and I were getting pretty sick at that point (we think from all the pollution and just different hygiene standards than what we were used to), so it was kind of a bummer. But we finally got into the air, and the flight was shorter than when we came to Beijing by about an hour, so that was great!

We landed in Seattle at 1:00pm, just as our flight from SEA-PDX was leaving 🙁 Luckily, Alaska Air was able to put us on the 4:00pm flight instead, and we made it back to Portland by 5:00pm. We then took the MAX to Beaverton and walked from the station to our apartment, and we were finally home! 24 hours of travel felt so good when we were able to sit on the couch and pet little Nora Poo!

All in all, it was a really fun trip, and a great experience! I’m so happy that I got to see another way of life for a week, and visit The Great Wall of China! Eihab has to go back to Shanghai in November, so I’m excited to see what else he experiences while he’s there!
