We made it to Shanghai today! This is a great accomplishment given a four hour delay – in the plane / on the ground – to fix the food elevator at San Francisco Airport. The flight itself was a mere 12 hours; not too bad. We love the Shanghai airport’s efficiency. The immigration line was super quick. They have a voting system so you can rate your first interaction with Chinese airport staff. Can you imagine giving a US Immigration Officer a “Greatly satisifed” smiley face rating?!
Our six pieces of luggage were among the first off the carousel. We thought surely we’d be hit up by customs officers toting the suitcases and 4 pieces of carry on luggage we had. Alas! We made it through without any issue. Two drivers were waiting for us from the moving company. They insisted on helping us push our carts to the cars. Imagine a rather frail man pushing a cart with 4 American size suitcases up a mini ramp. Almost like a predictable B movie, the cart toppled over…twice. Hopefully no wine broke! We’re now on our way to the hotel for a few days why the finishing touches are made to our apartment.
