Well, the day has finally arrived. I’m sitting on a plane on my way to Shanghai from Los Angeles, only an hour into what is going to be a 14 hour flight. I can’t believe how long it took for this day to get here, but I also can’t believe how quickly it came. I had so many plans to write about the crazy planning and packing and training I did to prepare for this day, but as I found myself constantly caught up in the madness with very little time to think and reflect, that never happened.
