I am leaving today for my trip, and at the moment I am trying to get all the last minute details out of the way. My bag is almost fully packed, and seems to be fairly light this year. I wonder what I have forgotten?
I am heading out today on United flight 7637 from Indy to Chicago O'Hare and then on United flight 835 from O'Hare to Shanghai. I take off from Indianapolis at 7:45 AM and I should land in Shanghai at 1:55 AM local EST. It will be 1:55 PM on June 22nd there when I land because they are 12 hours ahead of us (and because of crossing the International Date Line). All told, it will be about 18 hours of travel. Hopefully the Shanghai flight has some good movies!
If you want to track my flights, you can visit USA Today Flight Tracker. Just enter the flight number and then click on the flight status to see a close to realtime map of the flight.
Update: (8:04 CST) I just arrived in Chicago O'Hare Airport and am awaiting my flight to Shanghai. United had computer trouble yesterday and that really messed them up, so I am really glad I wasn't trying to travel then! Pictured below is the Boeing 747 plane I will be riding on to Shanghai.

Wow! I hope you have a good flight! I also hope you don't forget anything!
Emma, So far so good on flights. The first was on time, and that was the one I was worred about. I didn't want to miss the big one to China! I am sure I have forgotten something--hopefully it will be something small.
Does flying make you nervous? Because I always panic. I did before my flight to Mexico this past January.
Hi, It's Dad Glad you made it to the airplane on time. I was home by 8:00 after a nice stop at gas america for coffee and donuts. After that a two hour nap at home. So I'm feeling good now. Love Dad
you know next year I have a good place for you to go, Argaintina there you could play hydrospeed and pato (Argaintenian for duck)
Mr. Heiden,
The sentence "I wonder what I have forgotten" is a statement, not a question, and therefore gets a period instead of a question mark. You can remember this little grammer rule by thinking, "Do you have a question, Mark?". (I am just a little bitter about you going to all of these great places. My career is just as alturistic as yours.)
linda gives good grammar advice
