Take two was better; still a very long day. Left around 10 a.m. Our route took us northwest from Chicago to the western provinces of Canada, over Nome, Alaska and the Bering Strait and then past southern Siberia and the northern part of Japan (pictured) before crossing into China. We arrived in Shanghai around 1 p.m. (Sunday), essentially pulling an all-nighter. Cheryl got in touch with the trip organizer last night and we’ll readjust the itinerary, but it looks like we’ll miss at least part of one day’s activities in Shanghai. The plane probably has more Asians than any other group. When we were required to fill out forms for our arrival in China, the flight attendant asked Leah whether she held a U.S. or Chinese passport. Interesting, because for the first time in her life, she will be in the racial majority when we touch down.
