The best laid plans...

It has been a trying day. The weather delayed us getting into ATL and then we missed the good direct flight with excellent seats I had us booked. We had to reroute through Korea and add 7 hours to our journey. Plus I got stuck in the middle seat on a full flight. Talk about miserable........

I didn't think it could be done, but Molly managed to cry the entire 18 hours of the first flight, leaving us both worn out and cranky. Oh, to be young again....but NOT 15. I kept thinking she'd finally cry herself to sleep, but no such luck. She's persistent if nothing else.

A couple more hours in Seoul and then it is another 2 hour flight to Shanghai, before a few hours sleep and a full day of orientation at her new school beginning at 8am.
