Apr 1, 2011 This morning we slept in until about 10 then got ready to head out for our last day in Shanghai. First we went to a market, of course, because several people had a few last minute things they wanted to buy. We ended up spending all the last of our cash and a couple hours there, then headed out to eat lunch before we got back on the ship. I think I was about to have a panic attack…I was starving and only wanted normal food, I am totally over local food for now. I was acting like a total brat (sorry gals) and we ended up wandering for a couple hours looking for a restaurant. We eventually ended up at another mall where I got Burger King and everyone else got local food. Their sushi looked good, though, and so we had a great time sitting at lunch chatting before we had to get back to the ship. We made it into the line for security right before a massive group of people so that was good. Now we’re on the ship headed to Taiwan! I can’t believe we only have 2 ports left. Tomorrow we’ll be in Taiwan for 3 days then Hawaii for 2 days, that means we only have 5 days left in ports. I am very excited to be home but I also think it’s crazy how fast this has flown by. For so long I have had this huge trip to look forward to, and it’s going to be weird not having that any more. I have been so lucky to have this experience; I mean truly it’s like a movie sometimes. For this I only have my parents to thank…so thank you, I love you guys!
