The Day Before the Flight

Today is the day before our travel to China. I am Kate writing. I am so excited I feel that if I keep too still my head is going to explode like a volcano!

I am looking foward to this trip. I still cannot believe that I am about to go on a plane all the way across the world on a, what seems to be a "legendary", trip to China. My mom keeps on saying, "Oh this summer we should go to China." She has been saying that for a couple of years now. Now we actually are going!

I am waiting to have an eurika moment when suddenly something reminds me of when I was a baby. Maybe a smell or a sight, something that reminds me of, what I call, my "babyhood."

I was born in China and my mom adopeted me from the orphanage. This will be my first time back to China. Infact, when I think of it, there will be a lot of firsts for me. First time I get to have my own digital camera, first time I will have to endure a very long flight since my babyhood, and my first time having my dad's old phone that only works as a toy. (cool)

Now I am going to prepare for cranky parents during security check and sitting in one place for eighteen hours.
