Part 8: Heading Back to the U.S.

By Lori Rothschild on July 24, 2008 10:44 PM | Permalink | 1 Comment

Today I head back to the U.S., and I am writing this entry in my seat on an Air China Boeing 747. We are on the tarmac and about to take off for the flight back to the United States. It has been a whirlwind trip, but every part has been exciting, intimidating, thrilling and exhausting. It was an amazing opportunity, and I will be sad when this trip officially comes to an end.

Part 7: Shooting Promos With Sam

This morning I was up again at the crack of dawn uploading all of my photos and videos from our day exploring Beijing. I also used Skype to call my husband and daughter back home in Maryland! The time change is 12 hours, so I have to get up super early in the morning so that I can say goodnight to my 2-year-old on the other side of the world.

Day 2
I wrote this entry sitting on the steps of the Forbidden City in the travel journal that I bring with me on every trip. (TIP! I always bring a spiral notebook with me wherever I go when I travel. It's great to record memories, jot down contact information and collect recipes.) I am overlooking a very charming red gate that leads to the outside world of Beijing. The Forbidden City is completely amazing; it's one of those places that you always see in pictures, and you never dream that you would have the chance to go.

Day 1

This morning I was up at the crack of dawn, and I made myself a cup of cocoa in my room at the Shangri-La Hotel in Chengdu. (TIP! I always bring a few staples from my home kitchen when I go on the road. Hot cocoa and hot cereals are great, because you just boil some water, and you have a quick taste of home. I also pack plenty of granola bars!) I went online and checked my email for a few minutes, and it was fun to get all of the reactions to my pictures and videos from family and friends! (TIP! Do not forget to bring your wire to transfer your pictures from your camera to your desktop while traveling. This will keep open space on your camera so that you can continue to shoot your trip!)

Part 4: Chengdu - Meeting the Giant Panda

After we left the outdoor teahouse on our first shoot day in Chengdu, we made our way to the Panda Preserve. The preserve looks a lot like the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., with hilly walkways lined with bamboo that form shaded archways. Imagine the entire National Zoo being dedicated to one animal and that's the preserve. The guide here, Helen, came in on her day off to work with us. She's lovely and has given us amazing access to the animals.
