Welcome to today's game of #MaryGoRound. Beijing to Chicago to Nashville.

To play:
1. When my travel goes well, you drink.
2. When it goes poorly, I drink.
(Sip, don't chug. Does not need to be alcohol to play.)

I've arrived at the airport. Have a drink. #MaryGoRound

I'd been warned that security at the Beijing airport was really long and a drag, but I was through so fast I forgot that it was a thing.

Have a drink.

Aboard my flight to Chicago and thence home to Nashville. Have a drink. #MaryGoRound

They are closing the boarding doors for an on time departure. Have a drink.

Funny thing. It's shortly past noon on Tuesday, here in Beijing, and I land at 11am tomorrow, Tuesday, in Chicago.

Time travel is real.

#marygoround

I'm in Chicago!

My flight to Nashville is delayed!

That's a point to you and one to me for this round of #marygoround

My flight to Nashville is further delayed.

#marygoround

My flight is further, further delayed.

#marygoround

WAIT! We're boarding!

Have a drink. #MaryGoRound

They are closing the boarding doors. See you in Nashville. Have a drink. #MaryGoRound

Landed in Nashville! Have a drink! #marygoround

HOME! Have a drink!

This concludes four weeks of #marygoround. My plan for tomorrow is to sleep. The rest of the week I'm going to write. And next week I will be available for things other than recovery from travel.
