Home Sweet Home

Well, we made it home. I have had good intentions to write about our last day in China and our journey home, but I have still been trying to get caught up (as if that ever really happens). Here it is, our last visit to the factory and our LONG flight home.


So here you see Jason (so pleasant in the morning) checking out one of the new Celsius boots. You can't tell from his expression, but he is really liking what he sees. This morning the factory had one of each of the boots finished for us to approve for the 2nd round samples. Overall they were on point and should be good to go for rep samples and rider samples too. I felt like the trip went well and we were able to improve the boots substantially from the first run, hopefully Kay does too.



It may not look like it here, but we are all still friends (I think). Jason hasn't been answering my phone calls or emails, but he is just busy, I am sure. I sent Kay a thank you note (because my mom taught me to do those sort of things) and she did respond (and not just because I buy her product, I think). The flight home was long, in reality it was shorter than going there and we arrived home the exact same day we left (thanks to the International date line). All of us couldn't wait to get home to our normal lives and families. The flights were full, and we all had to sit together in a row of 3 seats, sleeping wasn't happening for me as I had the middle seat (don't ask me about that, I blame Kay).

Once I got home, sleep became an issue. I would do my best to stay awake until 11PM or later, but couldn't sleep past 4AM. After 3 days of this I finally got smart, 2 Tylenol PMs and I was out for the count. I did that for 2 nights and I was good to go.

Overall China was amazing. I learned lots and had a good time, it was quite an experience. Hopefully it won't be my last trip to China.....
