Thankfully the trip back home went smoothly. We got up Monday morning and checked out of the dorm. After that was all done we met up with Dennis and took two cabs to the airport. When we arrived we realized that they had switched the terminal, so we had to get on a tram and head over to Terminal 3 which was built recently for the Olympics. We got everything situated there and we noticed that they aren't as picky on the weight of your baggage as they are back in the United States. For instance both of my bags were a few pounds over the 50 lb weight limit, but they didn't seem to care and I didn't get charged any overweight fees. Once that was all said and done we thanked Dennis for all of his help and bid farewell.

While we were heading over to our gate we happened to run into someone we had met at the IMAX Theater when we went to go to the Harry Potter movie. It turns out he was headed back home to Chicago. It was rather strange running into a random person you met several weeks ago, especially considering how many people there are in China.

From there we went to go eat lunch and check our status at the gate. I happened to get lucky and got upgraded to First Class on the flight from Beijing to China. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience as I got served excellent food and got a lot more leg room. Oh and the best part was that the chair reclined, so I slept most of the flight.
