Stuck in China!!!

Hi everyone!! This is Cheri again...I received an email from Susan & Riz this morning saying that they are STILL in China. They were supposed to be arriving home tonight but due to a typhoon in Hong Kong, they are stuck in China and their flight was cancelled. In her email she said that they should be home on THURSDAY, instead of Wednesday, at the same time (same flights). If I hear anything else I will be sure to pass it along. Here's the message that she posted on the agency's Yahoo Group:

I just wanted to let everyone know we are still in China. Our day has been difficult and exhausting. We woke early this morning and headed to the airport to catch our 8:25 flight to Hong Kong after a difficult time getting checked on and through security and immigration and to the gate we sat down to relax and change the babies minutes later we hear that the flight has been delayed then several more min and it was canceled do the the Hong Kong airport being closed because of the typhoon that's right I said typhoon. So back through immigration to have our visas canceled and to pick up our luggage by the way did I say I had to do last min scramble because my bags were over limit if I have not said it before PACK LIGHT... So China Southern put us up in a hotel 15 min from the airport lets just say it is not the Victory or the Galactic Peace international this my friends is real China rural, no Americans food we can't recognize and no English, none of our
room keys work and it is HOT but we are here nd we are dry and together. Tomorrow we leave bright and early again to catch a flight to Hong Kong and then on to the US. Let me just say Zhou is amazing and helped us ll out tremendously today he has been our,life line.... So we love you all and wanted to give you an update on our China adventure...

I totally know what you are going through. We were stuck when China had the worst winter storm in fifty years and had to sit in the airport only to have our plane delayed, then we had to take a 13 hour cold bus trip to Guanghou. Glad your guide is great, ours was too. Hope you get home safe and sound.
