5/13 - Thirty hours later we made it home. We were up at 5:00 am Wednesday morning Chinese time and arrived at our doorstep at 11:00 pm Wednesday night and went to bed an hour later. It was a long trip, but we are happy to be home. It was nice coming home to happy dogs and cats. Thank you Carol and John for taking care of everything at the house! We left China on time and arrived in Tokyo after an easy ride. Our next plane was late coming into Tokyo so our departure was 1-1/2 hours late, which turned into two hours after we sat on the runway for an extra thirty minutes. Some of the other couples rebooked their final flights out of Chicago. We kept our same Chicago-Cleveland flight, thinking we had enough time. That was another good flight for Kim since she slept the first seven hours of the eleven hour flight. Daddy got about 1 hour of sleep; I got a little more myself. After circling O'Hare for another 30 minutes we landed with 45 minutes to go through immigration, pick up our checked luggage, renavigate through customs and security and find the right terminal. Of course, the 4:56 flight out of Chicago was on time and we didn't make it. We hopped the next plane out at 6:38, which was delayed by an hour and finally landed in Cleveland around 10. At that point, Kim was fussy and we were doing our best to prevent tears. My father was there to pick us up and the luggage and away we went. At home, Kim was wide-eyed and clingy, not sure about another place to stay. She did go to my father with a smile and gave him "five". The cats and dogs were happy to see us and it was hard to put them back in the basement once we got home. I'll have to spend some special time with them in the next few days. While Kim-Kim was having her nighttime bath, Silky (cat) came to join us in the bathroom and jumped on the toilet seat. Kim shrieked terrifying tears and was sure that the little black cat was really a tiger. About midnight the three of us squeezed into a queen sized bed and went to sleep for the night along with Reba (another cat who insists on sleeping with me). We had been sleeping in an extra wide King sized bed in China. We thought it would be best to keep her with us till she gets used to her own room and crib. Needless to say, neither I nor Dan got much sleep with a little one kicking us and trying to turn sideways all night long. I'm sure there will be a few naps today and tomorrow till we can get caught up on Ohio time. Thank you again for everybody's well wishes for a good trip and safe travel.
