Im so busy I can only write one day at a time. I will start with the first day then do the 2nd and 3rd day maybe next weekend. I just have such a busy schedule right now.
So the journey began when i drove to an airport ride n' fly service around 8pm and reached the airport around 9:20pm. I did not take into account the amount of people checking into international flights for Korean air so my time schedule was off a little. It took me maybe 40 minutes to finally get the the counter and check in. I checked my one bag in, got my tickets and began to feel the reality of my trip. I then went into security which was a breeze and after that I was off to the terminal. My timing was almost perfect because I got to my terminal around 10:50 and boarding started at 12:00 am. So i just listened to music and waited. After that was off to Korea and slated to sit on a plane for 14 hours. It was more like 5 hours for me because of the 3 ZzzQuil i took. I had a very pleasant experience and flight with Korean Air. I will try to use them again. After I arrived in Korea I was super hungry but nothing was open as it was 4am there when we landed. So i waited and then went to the most familiar thing to me 'Subway". After that I connected to the wifi (which was easy) and tried to contact my Keshu. She responded with excitement and to tell me she was on her way to Shanghai by bus and she could not wait to meet me. My flight to Shanghai was at 11:30 am and the hours went by just fine as I had a new movie to watch on my laptop called 'Pain and Gain". It was pretty good. Then the call for boarding cam and I could not believe how close i was to her. That flight actually seemed longer lol. So once i landed in Shanghai I had such a feeling of excitement and amazement that i was on the other side of the world. I then tried to connect to the wifi to contact keshu but it was so difficult that i gave up. I was not worried because me and Keshu had a plan for something like this. I told her just wait for me in the lobby and i gave her a time frame. So my trip was going smoothly until I his the immigration booth and got held up for 10 minutes. I lost some weight since my passport picture and apparently i look totally different so I had the Chinese security checking my face and my passport several times and asking me questions....smh. So it finally got sorted out and I was off to get my bags. I could see when the lobby was and I knew she was there waiting on my so i began to get very antsy. It took forever for my bag to come out and i almost began to think it was lost but it finally came out the dark hole and into my hands. Then i began to rush towards the lobby and had so many thoughts running through my head like 'should i kiss her?' and 'when do i give her the first gift". Once i passed through the doors i began to look around to see if i saw here and I immediately recognized her. I saw her! she was looking at the flight times and looking confused (i could tell she was worried) but she didnt see me. I really wanted to go surprise her and creep up behind her but my excitement took control and i called to her 'Keshu!'..... she did not turn right away then she turned to me and a super big smile came on her face and i said lets go outside where there is more room. It was super crowded in the lobby and there would have been no intimacy.
Once outside I looked at her in amazement and said 'Wow! Keshu your so beautiful" and hugged her about 20 times. She was so shy but said 'you look good too'. Then i told her i have something for you and she was very excited and happy. It was a panda teddy bear, i knew she would like it because panda is her favorite. So after all this we found a taxi and went to the hotel. Once we dropped our bags, i told her to come here in chinese, and she came over to me. I held her in my arms and kissed her and she kissed back (later she told me she enjoyed this very much). Then we talked for hours in the hotel until we got hungry then went out to eat. That's when i fell in love with Chinese cuisine! We ordered too much food and could not eat it all. We both laughed about it and got it to go. The moments we had together that day really confirmed our love. I knew this was the girl i wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I told her this too and she was so happy. After we went to eat we went back to the hotel and cuddled up to watch a movie. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep during the movie and I eventually cut it off and joined her in sleeping. She allowed me to sleep close to her and we had a restfully sleep that night.
The first day was not the best day for me but it was a day i will never forget. I see how people forget to take pictures of first meet, it was the last thing on my mind. She jokes with me now and makes fun of my reaction when i first hugged her lol.
That was the first day but not the best day. I will post the next 2 days maybe next week.
