We have a 2:20 flight back to Beijing.  The morning is spent lounging and packing.  We catch the shuttle back to train station.  We’re able to check in for the flight at the train station, including our luggage.  It sure makes the trip to the airport easy.  The train is quick, but when we get to the airport, there isn’t a gate listed for our flight.  It’s been raining all day, and there seem to be lots of cancellations and delays on the “Departures” board.  We work our way through Security and Immigration, and then get some lunch, waiting for our gate to post up.  It finally posts, we head to the gate and board.  On board, after a long wait, they tell us we’ve been delayed.  They start serving drinks, and a movie comes on the screen.  One hour later we get to take off.

Back in Beijing, our arrival is smooth.  The luggage made the trip successfully and we get a good taxi driver.  Home sweet home!  We had a great trip.  Judy is celebrating Spring Break the rest of the week, but I have classes tomorrow.
