Waiting in line at Pudong Airport in Shanghai
I met up with Wendy at 8:45am this morning to do one last tour. We walked over to the Shanghai Museum - across from our hotel.
The Shanghai Museum is a famous art museum in Shanghai. Exhibits included a ceramics area, old currency display, bronze statues, jade pieces, and bamboo carvings. The museum had a whole variety of exhibits throughout the 4-floor layout. We did a 2-hr walk through, then back to the hotel by 11am.
We grabbed our bags, did 1 last check of the rooms, and then took a taxi to the airport (175 yuan - $20). Randy/Wendy had a 4pm international flight via United Airlines back to Chicago. I was flying via Hong Kong Airlines - scheduled departure at 5pm for Hong Kong.
I write this blog aboard the plane - it's 7pm - still no departure. 2-hr delay. I tell you - I'm not having much luck with air travel in China. I'm 0 for 3 at this point.
LATER ---- the flight took off around 7:30pm - around a 2hr, 30 minute delay. I got into Hong Kong around 9:45pm. I was able to efficiently get through the airport, onto an express shuttle to the city, than a free bus to my hotel -- the Luxe Manor. I arrived around 11pm.
Goal for Tuesday -- transition day. Get caught up on some stuff and refocus for the second part of my trip.
I really enjoyed my travel with Randy/Wendy. Thank you guys for spending a couple weeks with me. I had a lot of fun! Looking back - we did a ton of stuff in our short time. A great experience and something I will always remember!
