Not once during our whole trip did Sean say he wanted to go home. When we told him on Sunday night we were leaving he said "OK, I'm ready to go to Centerville." Good enough. He did mention several times that he wants to go to England. He wanted to know if we could go home, spend one night and the leave for England. I told him we could go to the England's as in my nieces house but he said that wouldn't be the same.
The only hiccup in our trip (besides the day we froze our butts off) was the trip home. Air China had a problem with the plane. There was liquid in one of the windows. They changed the window out. At one point they had us get off the plane telling us we were going on a different plane. We stood in a hall for five minutes then they told us to get back on the plane.
There was a lady on the plane who was so obnoxious I wanted to smack her. I was so glad she wasn't on our tour group. We had a fabulous group. There were no annoying people, unless of course we were they annoying people and didn't know it. This lady kept complaining the entire time they were fixing the plane. Really lady, you want to fly across the pacific and Alaska in a plane that they didn't take the time to fix. Not me, I'll wait for the repairs. The delay leaving Beijing caused us to miss our connection in LA. The lady at the Delta counter was so rude and no help at all. By the time we had gotten through customs, recovered our luggage and found out we had missed our plane the Air China counter was empty. Delta told us we had to buy new tickets. I called Air China's 1-800 number and they had someone meet us at the counter. She was very helpful and called Delta. We got on the 4:30 stand by and all made it on the plane. We were only about four hours late getting home.

| This is how Sean handled the delay. |
