Glad to have an uneventful trip over this time. Got to the airport in Grand Forks with no problem, though mom tells me there was a severely low tire that could have easily blown but thank goodness it didn't. In Minneapolis we had a 5 hour layover and that went well. Quick stop at JCrew and a good sit in the massage chairs. Props go out to the executive lunch taken by Mead and Justin B who decided it was a good idea on a Friday. It was good to see a few more familiar faces before I left the country.
The 12.5 hour flight over was like nothing I've experienced before, it was really empty. I was able to have 3 seats all to myself and it was the second best flight I've had internationally.
We arrived in Shanghai and took Sunday to explore. Thanks to Tim O'Keefe for recommending a great restaurant. We spent some time walking around to explore, but being not quite used to the heat and humidity we spent time in our air conditioned rooms. I jumped right into the movie buying with Hitchhiker's Guide and Sin City. I've watched the first and may watch the latter tonight.
I've just settled into my office this morning and get my teaching schedule this afternoon or tomorrow. Things are good thus far and I am looking forward to a good semester.

Also glad to hear you are there safely and with luggage, too! Talked to your Mom tonight...said she had her first experience with instant messaging with you. She said it was great, so I hope you're able to communicate often. Good Luck in your first class!
Love, Aunt Becky
