tanithryudoChicago O'Hare - 7:48AM CST
So the flight itinerary goes from SF to LA to Chicago to Shanghai. The flight from SF to LA got canceled so we got moved to a different flight. This resulted in us wandering around dazed and fuzzy in Chicago at 5 AM PST. Our expected arrival at Shanghai is 2 PM local time. God knows when/if the luggage is going to make it.
Speaking of luggage, note to self, it's not a good idea to carry gifts in the carry-on suitcase if the gift consists of liquid/gel such as perfume kits. We had a little scare at the security checkpoint in SF until the security lady was nice enough to find us a large zip-loc bag, so we could take out the bottles and put them in the bag for security check-in, and put them back once we get to Shanghai.
Well, at least the nice thing about the fact that all 3 flights are AA means we don't have to do another security check-in. On the way back, we'll just have to remember not to buy and liquid/gel type gifts. =P
Another scare at the SF airport... I was going to try and scan for wireless networks, and nearly freaked when I noticed that the power light wasn't going on indicating the laptop battery was charging, even though I'd plugged it into an airport outlet. For a while there I'd thought I'd brought a defunct adapter, and would have to buy another one in China (at least Lenovo is Chinese manufacture now). But fortunately I decided to try again at O'Hare, and this time the battery is charging, so I guess it was just back luck with a broken outlet back in SF.
Anyway... 3 more hours to go until the flight gets here... Zzzz... =_=
