California here we come!

Jen and I depart at 8:30pm Beijing time and arrive at 5:45pm LAX time on Wednesday (yep, we get home 3 hours before we leave tomorrow). Jayme is on a different flight and gets in an hour earlier. Our bags are packed and we'll be singing the theme song to the OC all the way home. First stop will be In'n out near LAX.

Going home is a funny thing, a bit of a time warp, actually. I have no idea what it will be like to sleep in the same place for more than 5 nights or pack a bag everyday and carry it everywhere. I feel like we just left. Two of our new friends (Rupert & Tariq) are headed to Hanoi. If we had the money and the time I'd start over again in a heartbeat.
