1 flight down, 3 more to go!

Good afternoon all!

It is currently 5:26 on Thursday afternoon - and I have begun my journey to meet up with other delegates for this wonderful trip to China. I should tell everyone a little bit about myself before I start rambling on about much else.

I have lived in Grande Prairie, Alberta for the last seven years. I am a private practitioner working within the school systems; focusing mostly on serving the preschool to Grade 3 population. I also have private clients who receive funding for services at their home; the majority of those clients have autism and working with those clients is my favorite part of my job.

For me, one of the most exciting parts of this trip is that I was able to invite my mother, Judy, to join me for such a wonderful experience. I will be meeting up with her in Vancouver tonight, and we will spend the day shopping and hanging out tomorrow before we get started on the long flight to Hong Kong and then on to Beijing!

Who knew that planes left the Vancouver airport at 2:55 in the morning? Definitely not me. I have travelled before, but nowhere quite as far away as this. I will be ok though, because I can sleep on the plane - hopefully the jet lag won't be too bad for me!
