Moments to Treasure

Praise God for a safe flight.

What a big mess at the LA airport!!! Daniel was waiting for us at the arrival door at Eva Airline while we were looking for him at the Departure area instead. Thank God we could communicate to each other by cellular phones. I was shocked to see the long line of people outside the entrance to Eva airline. So I left Becky and Baby Nicole by the curbside to go in and check to see where we should line up for checking in. I was told all Eva passengers had to pass x-ray inspection first and that means we have to line up like all the other people outside the building. Well, Daniel finally found us. While he took a peep at the sleeping beauty, I hurried to the end of the line. After saying good-bye to Becky, Daddy went inside to check. He came back to get me out of the line and took me directly to the long line for checking-in. Then we found out we had to go to seperate lines - one for delux class and one for economy class, however, since I had to check in two pieces of luggages, we were told the luggages need to be inspected first. The line was long but we had no choice and we had plenty of time. We waited patiently for our turn. After passing inspection, a porter carried our luggages to the Eva Check-in area. We went ahead to the proper line. It did not take me too long to get my luggages checked in and get my boarding pass. As for Daniel, he had to wait for over half a hour. For the first time, I really appreciate the power of money. The delux line went so much faster and I saw two American girls passed a tip to one porter, so he let them go to the front of the delux class instead of waiting like every body else at the long line for the economy class.
Since I did not get the chance to allow Daddy to sit instead of me in the Delux section, my flight was comparatively comfortable. I enjoyed the food and the Chinese newspaper they provided. My neck was hurting me, so I couldn't sleep well, but I am thankful transit in Taiwan went smoothly and our friend picked us up at the Hong Kong airport with no problem. Praise the Lord, we finally got here safely.
The first thing we did was trying to get in touch with Kung Kung, Po Po. We were surprised to find them back in Hong Kong. We also got to talk to Christine on the phone to find out she is now in Shanxi. So what is left for us to do is to get me a ticket to go to meet her there.
