So today the trip actually began. I made it to Philly today with Gordon waiting at the baggage claim around 4pm. After waiting at least a half hour for my bag to arrive after me Gordon and I headed down the road into Jersey and straight to his hockey game. The timing worked out well because with the delays of traffic and the luggage we were able to make it to his game with just enough time to grab a bite to eat before his game. Gordon ended up winning his game with an easy 7-0 victory in what I would say is the best Adult Hockey league I've ever seen. Although the hockey was pretty good I have gained a new respect for all hockey parents as watching hockey without being able to play sucks. The rink was probably 40 degrees colder than the extreme heat outside and my clothing was not accommodating for the climate change. Other than that it really was just a tease because my chances of playing hockey in the next 20 days are as likely as the E-Trade baby would say getting mauled by a polar bear and a regular bear in the same day.
The other activites we will be doing in China, however, will be keeping us plenty busy. I think my hockey tease tonight will quickly be forgotten when we begin the amazing itenerary that Max sent out today. According to the plan we will see terra cotta warriors, the water cube, and the forbidden city to name a few, but most anticipated are the things that Max talked about the most, his family, dog, and the food.
Baby George will arrive tomorrow around 3pm and then our wolf pack will be ready to meet our final wolf that waits half way around the world. Its going to be tough, but I'm going to try and go to sleep now. Maybe tomorrow I'll take some pictures... yeah I think so.
