You know when you fly a lot there is usually a problem with luggage now and then and on our flight home we had issues with that. I have to say this was a first for me and John. We flew from Utah to LA and had a layover of a day before our flight leaves for China. This little guy in the picture was entertaining us for peanuts at the retro-style hotel we stayed at. Very lovely little place where you can sit outside your room in a garden setting. The problem was that Southwest left one of our suitcases back in Utah. Thankfully it was not a big issue since we were not leaving for 20 hours. They sent it on the next flight and John caught the shuttle back to the airport to pick it up. Nicely the airline compensated us with $50.00 credit. That was Southwest Airlines. Our next leg of our trip took us from LA to Beijing. Then a few hours later we landed in Guangzhou where we were going to take the train home. This time the airline left ALL 4 of our suitcases back in Beijing. Now what? We were dead tired from the red eye flight, it was almost noon and I was looking forward to lying down somewhere. We were very glad they knew where our suitcases were because almost all our clothing was in them. But now we were told we would have to come back in 7 hours to get them when they arrive on the next flight. Well, it was a 2 1/2 hour journey home, plus the expense of the train, so we just figured we would have to wait for them. They were delivered to us after some confusion with a smile but no compensation. I asked about it since it says in the airline policy that they compensate $300.00 (yuans) for delayed luggage. The woman who delivered our luggage promptly said she had so idea about it, took our paperwork and walked away. That is a China airlines. I did send out an email to the airline, got an apology, and directed to another department. The new department response was "did you get a hotel?" and nothing more since my reply. Oh well, I didn't even expect that. So we are back in China. Eating our favorite vegetable, ......... ....catching up with friends at breakfast tea.... ...... walking our legs off, enjoying the weather, and the beauty that China has to offer. Our trip home to the states was good, very good. But being here brings me a sense of 'I am doing what I should be doing'. And we are having fun at the same time. Hopefully we will be able to afford a trip to Beijing and the Great Wall this year. So glad to hear from you all and hope to see you again on our return sometime in the future. Love and hugs...Cindy
