We're back to the United States of America!!

Hi - to everyone who followed our travels. We returned yesterday, May 22, 2008 to the SLC airport about 4:00 p.m. The last days that we were in Shanghai, the internet was very "shaky" because of the official three days of mourning for the earthquake victims in China.

We tried several times to get on the computer and that didn't work well at all. After the earthquakes started -- even getting pictures to upload was tough. I will have some time over the weekend to get the blog updated and completed for our trip.

Speaking for the majority of the group, and especially the faculty, we had a great time. There was very little traveler's sickness (stomach, GI upset) and most of us had plenty of patience for each other most of the time. It was a challenge to be together for 16 days and two very long airplane trips and several other shorter airplane rides.

This study abroad excursion will certainly find its place in my personal memoirs.

My best to you! I'm so relieved everyone is safe at home now. It breaks my heart to know that so many people have been effected by the earthquake disaster in China. Please remember them in your thoughts.
