1st leg
Today was similar to when I left for China 4 years ago. Dad was in his work clothes, and we circled up to pray before I left. I packed in the same red luggage. I am thankful, however that this time I am much more calm. I did not get strip searched or have to rush to any planes. Everything went smoothly. Instead of going through San Francisco, I took a flight out of Atlanta on Korean Air to Seoul, South Korea. This flight took 14 hours. I am in the Seoul Airport awaiting the flight to Beijing. Here is what I rode on to get here:
