Countdown

Well it's finally here, Duane will be home in about 28 hours and we are so excited! The only bad thing is that he has to spend most of that time on an airplane. The time change is hard, but it is much easier to get used to when you get to China than it is when you come home. He has been 14 hours ahead of us for 5 weeks. When he gets home on Saturday night, he only really has Sunday to recover, then it's back to work on Monday. Crazy!!

Just to give you an idea of how weird that flight back to Utah is, just check this out: He is leaving China at 11:20 am Saturday morning (China time). He flies for nearly 16 hours and lands in San Francisco at 12:40 pm (SF time...only an hour and 20 mins later!), then has 3 hour layover and gets to Salt Lake at 6:30 pm local time. So after traveling for 20 hours, he gets here only "7 hours" after he left China. The other strange thing, is that 6:30 pm here will be feeling like 8:30 am in China, so he will be at the beginning of his day (as far as his body knows).

We are getting all ready for him to get home, and even made him a fresh batch of salsa last night. Now, he just needs to hurry and get here before it's all gone!
