The Leg That Counts [Chicago -> Shanghai]

[Caroline]

(Early Hours)

We woke up early and dressed quickly. We loaded all of our tubs into an airport shuttle. We checked the totes, and took our suitcases inside. We had TSA pre-check, so we got through security fairly quickly.

Before the flight we got to stay in the Admiral's Club, which is a place with WiFi, power outlets, and lots of comfy chairs, and it was amazing! We drank complimentary coffee, fruit, juice, drinks, coffee, bagels and much more.



I had a bagel and a made-by-me Cappuccino.

Everett watched airplanes and had about 14 cups of orange juice, and no one said a word about it like it was completely normal for a 4 year old boy to be drinking so much orange juice. Enough about orange juice. We soon were called to board the plane.

We had business class and I was so excited! I have had first/business class before, but not on any  international flights. We each got our own little room-like spaces with a TV screen, remote, lights, (with controls) seat that lies all the way down, pillow, power outlets, blanket and trays. It was absolutely super duper crazy cool!!!

(Later hours)

 Everett has his headphones on, and is completely oblivious to how loud he was being. It was hilarious, almost like a TV show right in front of me.

 I noticed earlier that the overhead bins are different than those on a smaller plane. They open top to bottom instead of vice-versa. I am not much of an airplane food person, but this trip was different. They served lots of food that I could not pronounce, but my favorite thing was the duck option. I had never had duck before, and this was amazing! The banana pudding was quite good as well, I can't lie.
