First Post from China

We have arrived in China. After 9 hours in a completely full plane from Paris to Beijing.

When doing a Big Move, the best way to not become sentimental and miss your friends is to:

(1) have no fixed plans untill the last minute;

(2) stay awake late all the week before you move; and

(3) travel with your baby.

We basically didn't sleep the whole night flight (although Sophie managed some shut eye in her bassinet). I wanted to murder the crew memeber who woke me up for breakfast after I had finally dropped off. Why do they always do this?! I know there are stickers which you can put on your seat which say "don't wake me for meals" but how come they always fall off the fabric/ don't exist on Air France?

Oh yeah - in all that rush I left my mobile phone charger still plugged into the home socket at home. So you cannot phone me on my mobile after all... Email access is good though.

Sharon! I am so glad that you have arrived safely even if you are exhausted. I am sorry that we didn't get to say goodbye properly in Turin, but I too hate goodbyes... Zubin misses Sophie so much and I am really heartbroken that they won't get to have regular playdates. Anyway, keep this blog up to date so that we can see what you're all up to! xo Shilpa
