Getting Back to China - Part 1: The Easy Part

From the initial leg of my trip back to China:

All's well that starts well they say. The first leg of my trip from BWI to Heathrow was possibly the best flight I've ever had. Yeah, that good. I found myself fairly far forward in the plane sitting in an isle seat in the middle row. With 2 empty seats beside me. I enjoyed a nice Saviogn Blanc and then a steak dinner, and then stretched out across all three seats and read a book until I fell asleep. Like being at home, plus alcohol :)

Arrived at Heathrow at 5:00 AM EST and napped around a little, and now I'm in a small restaurant drinking a Corona and having a hot panini. Which just arrived this very moment.
