The flight to Shanghai did take the full 16 hours. But it actually went by quickly. We both watched one movie, ate three meals and slept a lot! I did sneak in a few episodes of 30 Rock and Entourage while Juergen slept.
Here we are, right before landing in Shanghai:
The Shanghai Airport was amazingly easy to navigate. We sped through customs and immigration and had our bags within 30 minutes. Frank and Cathy, Juergen's brother and sister-in-law, sent their driver for us. With the crazy traffic, it was an 2 hour drive to their house in Suzhou.
I met Frank when he came to our wedding in November, but I had never met Cathy and their son, Paul. It was so nice to see them in person, rather than in pictures and on Skype! Juergen brought a game for Paul and we all had a hoot playing Hullabaloo.
Frank, Juergen and I headed into Suzhou to visit the tailor, buy some watches and have some dinner. We had the best sushi I'd ever eaten.
On to Shanghai tomorrow!

I'm enjoying your blog! Sounds like a fun trip!
I'm also glad that you're using Skype. My sister's moving to Vilsek, Germany soon & we're talking about using it.
I think the airplane pic of you is my favorite ever! :)
