Well our flight to Shanghai was almost uneventful. The day was rainy but we didn't let it dampen our spirits. We knew our luggage was full and heavy; Marianne had to rearrange her stuff and also gave some to Eileen. Eileen's luggage was close, so out came the Nesquick and it ended up in her carry-on bag.
This is where it gets interesting. We're in line at the airport checking in and Eileen must have bumped one of the bags and in horror we watched almost in slow motion as it fell and took out the rest of our luggage just like dominos and then continued to take out our neighbors luggage. Till it was all done, it looked like the world record of luggage dominos - not really. At this point we're all pretty worthless since we're laughing hysterically and we have to move away quickly to try to save a little bit of our dignity.
Our next hurdle is security, surely nothing can go wrong here. WRONG. We were sure everything was going well until we saw the guard check and re-check the video when Eileen's bag goes through. She got pulled out of line; there seemed to be something suspicious in her bag. The guard searched through her bag and guess what - it was that darn Nesquick again!!! They let her go through and she got to keep the Nesquick.
We're on our way now and we're thinking, "once we leave Detroit we have 14 hours of uninterrupted nothingness - no email, no cell phones, nothing but relaxing, reading and idle chit-chat." Two hours into it we've read, talked, played games and now we're bored.
