We’ve completed our first term at Wellington Tianjin! After a fabulous staff party last night at the St Regis, we are ready to think about heading off to the states for my first Christmas at home in four years. A quick trip to the pet market today and we’ve got everything Ravi should need whilst we are gone. Suitcases are out and nearly all packed. One last sleep and we begin our traveling tomorrow. Two hour bus journey to Beijing, flight to Vancouver, Canada and finally arriving in Portland, Oregon. It is quite a amazing with the time zones we will be landing 2 and a half hours earlier than we departed!
Our countdown has ended, one last sleep before we’re off

Packing is looming
My least favourite part about traveling
Cupboard is stocked, Ravi will be well fed whilst we are gone
