Detroit is redeemed! Oh, my stars. This is a good thing. If you are reading this and wondering WHAT in the world is she blabbing about now? I can't find the post, but I'm talking about the great Detroit debacle of 2005.
It is legendary in our home. And I won't bore you with the details of my first personally scheduled overseas travel. Suffice it to say that after six or seven hours of travel time, we heard the pilot's announcement of, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now flying over Minneapolis/St. Paul".
Um...that about sums it up. That, and my desire for a do-over (the irony being I am not a perfeetionist!) spawned in that VERY second.
So here we are...at travel time! My do-over. And may I just say, this is fun!
We still have touring to organize for our time in Fuzhou and Guangzhou. That will come together in the next week or so!
