Well, I think it is Sunday morning 12 July, as I am now back in my room at the Pullman Baiyun Airport Hotel in Guangzhou. I am a little confused as I left Mainz Germany on a Friday night and now find myself on the other side of the International dateline on a Sunday morning. I have now been up 6 hours, and have read a book for 2 of them, workout for a 1 ½ hr, and ate a huge breakfast…all before 9am in the morning. Not sure what I am going to do for the rest of the day!!?? On top of all of that, I can not access my Facebook account or log onto my Google Blog page. Seems like the Chinese are a little particular on what DNS addresses they allow and Facebook and Google Blogs are off limits! I have asked my brother Pat to submit this blog for me today, just so you all will know why I am not responding to your various comments and notifications. Hopefully, I will travel to another country this week and can open those accounts later this week.
This International trip will be the most unusual for me to date, as I am sitting Hotel Standby for the next 6 days in Guangzhou. My duty is to be available to be called out (one hour notice) from this airport hotel and fly anywhere in the Far East that FedEx needs me. I have to be in my hotel room between noon and midnight for the rest of the week, so I can be reached in case they need to scramble a crew for some additional flight. Obviously, not my first choice….but I will manage to survive between the hotel gym and my reading material that I brought! I finish this trip up on Friday night at midnight and then take a 3 hour limo ride to Hong Kong where I am scheduled to stay for 31 hours before I fly home via L.A. and then Memphis. I know….I do have the perfect job!!!!
The picture above is from the market place in Guangzhou, that sits directly outside of the other hotel that I stayed in during my last stay in China. I added to give you some local feel …..
Hopefully, I will get to respond to more questions via my blog and Facebook later this week. Meanwhile, I want to remind everyone that we do live in the greatest nation on this earth and that we should never take it for granted. You can never really appreciate our freedom until you visit a country that knows very little about it……
