Flight To Guangzhou: Boarding 35 Minutes

We woke up to the sound of frogs softly humming a wake up tune from my cell phone's speakers.  Today is the day!  I got about 2 hours of sleep last night in the 250 thread count bed sheets.   I kept thinking about the big day.  My heart rate was a constant 72 BMP.  

Like responsible travelers we arrived at the airport hyper early to be informed our flight had been cancelled at 1:30 AM in the morning.  Luckily another flight was scheduled to leave two hours later on a larger air craft.  With that awful feeling in your stomach. "I am not going to get my baby!"  we assumed the worst and began to panic in the only kind of special panic that two hours of sleep can deliver.  After being told to check in three hours early, we had barely two hours once we arrived at LAX to get off the plane,  run the mile long corridor like OJ Simpson, all with Nina carrying a laptop, backpack, polar fleece, tickets, passports, etc...

The nice lady at the China Southern counter quickly processed our tickets and sent us on our way through security.  We made it!!!  No.... at the security check through we encountered a security drill where everyone had to freeze in place like the game red light green light.  Once the entire airport had checked in with their radios we were free to go on our way.  We are now sitting at ease at gate 114 almost confident they we are cleared to get on the plane.    Updates to follow.
