Heading home from Qingdao, China

The last day in China found me in a park with many Chinese families enjoying the spring day. Afterwards I watched three generations of Maureen’s family make dumplings, called Jiaozi.

I fly to Shanghai Monday night and hopefully will get a seat on the flight back to the United States. I am using my standby pass – courtesy of my 36 years as a flight attendant for Delta Airlines! It is a great benefit for me.

And when I’m home…I look forward to petting my two cats, sleeping in my own bed, eating the food my friend, Linda, always cooks for my return and eating buttered popcorn. I won’t divulge the order of these anticipated pleasures, but they are not necessarily in order of preference, except for the first one. I miss my kitties!

I have been going to China since 1983 and been a member of USCPFA-NE since the early 1990s. I have led Friendship tours and volunteered teaching English and joined delegation to China over the years. More recently, I have been involved with environmental work. I am presently finishing my China memoir. View all posts by maryklug
