The flight itself was good, and the kids were content. Once we landed and were taxiing down the runway towards the terminal, Logan suddenly succumbed to motion sickness and vomitted all over his pants. While Steph, who was sitting a row in front of me with the boys, was scrambling for the "convenience bag", Hudson promptly vomitted! Unfortunately neither Rykauna nor I had the convenience bags, so thankfully a neighbour across the aisle passed two on over as Steph did a few (thankfully dry) heaves himself. We were definitely regretting cancelling our last minute stop to Shopper's for baby wipes!
Upon exiting the plane we could instantly feel the heavy humidity in the air and the reported warm 28C weather. We were picked up by another of our Chinese friend's(Charles) brother's driver. Getting into the spacious air conditioned van was great. Steve came along too and helped us get checked in to our hotel. Myself and the kids rested for a hour before heading out for supper. For dinner we were treated by Charles' bother, Kevin, to a traditional Shanghainese feast. Kevin told us that typical Shanghainese food is quite laden in sweet sauces. The food was delicious! Hudson, who has a strong love of Asian cuisine, was loving it! Rykauna enjoyed it too, but preferred to focus more of her attention on taking pictures of the plates. Unfortunately Logan, who did not sleep a wink on the flight, was totally exhausted, and could not even make himself eat. Hopefully after a good night's rest we should all be up to another adventure tomorrow.

Oh! I love this. I will be longing every day to read your blog. Great way to keep in touch. All seems well. Tell Logan that Grand-maman gives him an extra hug. He must be exhausted. Lovely pictures Rykauna. Hudson, you seem to be in your glory.

ReplyDeleteGlad you all made it through the flight. Hope you all sleep well. If the beds are too hard for you, ask for extra pillows and line them up down the bed to sleep on. Thinking of you all!!
