Packed and Ready to GO!!

We are all packed, and it is only 5:20pm! In twelve hours, we'll be at the airport. First stop, San Francisco, second stop, China! (Technically, that isn't accurate, as our first stop is San Diego, where we change planes, then San Fran, where we will spend two days, then LA, where we will board our plane to China, but then we have to change again in Guangzhou before arriving in Kunming...but it sounds better the first way.)

Our last day hasn't been entirely without incident, as Sebastian spiked a fever just before he went down for a nap, and still had it after his nap this afternoon. He was supposed to go spend a few hours with his nanny while we wrapped some things up, but we cancelled those plans since he felt lousy. A little Motrin and another 90 minutes resting, and he's acting like himself. Still, there is still a chance, probably a decent chance, that the fever will return and bring some friends.

Trying to stay positive! The good news is, if it's a 24 hour thing, we can skip San Fran tomorrow and fly straight to LA on Weds and still make our flight to China.

Weirdly, I've had a little nagging voice in the back of my head for a few weeks that has been saying, "what if Sebastian gets sick and can't go to China?" Stupid little voice!

Anyway, here is a photo of our bags: one large rolling duffel per adult, two carry-ons per adult, one carry-on for Sebastian. We did pretty well, for us!
