We left Shanghai at 6:15 pm Nov 17, flying with Air Canada to Vancouver. Sid and I manage to score exit seats for the 10 1/2 hour flight. We catch a few winks, Sid watches a few movies. I lost track of time - at 4am I started to watch a movie thinking we had 2 hours left. At 4:10 we had an announcement that we were beginning decent into Vancouver - so that was a pleasant surprise!
It is 12:50 pm PST in Vancouver. We say good bye to Gerald and Jyl as they continue to the Canadian side of the customs line. We wondered where we would be going through customs as we were continuing to the US but connecting in Canada. Well the answer to that is we did not go through Canadian customs in Vancouver, we were only pre cleared for USA customs.
We have a short stay in Vancouver and board for Los Angeles, at 2:50 pm for a 2 hr 45 min flight. At LAX we deplane into terminal 2 and find our way to terminal 5 for an 8:30 pm departure to Phoenix. In Phoenix we are met by our dear friend Ian, and delivered safely to East Debbie Drive. It is midnight MST when we step into our USA home. Total travel time from Shanghai - including connections is somewhere around 26 hours! The bed feels heavenly!
This is my last post. We had the time of our life!
