Here I am at last

We arrived on Friday morning, Good Friday as it happened, at 6.15am Shanghai time, exactly on time. Not so our suitcases (all 75kg of them - how I escaped an excess baggage charge I will never know) - which apparently hadn't made the touch and go transfer from one plane to another at Copenhagen. We only just made it ourselves, having had to run - quite literally - from one end of Copenhagen Airport to the other. If there hadn't been trollies for the 30kg of Hand Luggage we had, we would never have made it. When we got there, the board actually said our flight was closing - I have no idea how long it would have waited for us, if at all. Especially with our luggage not being on the plane (though I didn't know that at the time, obviously). As it turned out, whoever it is that has been smiling down on us for the last three months was smiling down on us still - if our luggage had arrived with us, we would never have all fitted into the Buick that had come to collect us from the airport.
