At long last the final details of my return trip are almost all finalized. On Sunday August 21, I will leave the Jinan Airport at 7:50am on a plane (MU5193) to the Beijing Airport. I will arrive in Beijing at 8:50am. After this we have what I think is a long wait for the next flight. The long flight on Air China (CA991) will leave for Vancouver at 3pm. We are scheduled to arrive in Vancouver at 11:00am or so. From here we have to go through customs and the like. The next and final flight (AC8282) will leave Vancouver at 2pm and arrive in Regina at 5pm. . I should mention that all times are local. This is going to be the longest single day of my life. Since I will be waking up probably around 6am on August 21 and arriving at home at 5pm the same day in the afternoon. The strangest thing will be leaving Beijing at 3pm and arriving at home at 5pm. . It should be an interesting and long day..
