I’m Going Home!!!
by Sean on Jun.03, 2010, under Miscellaneous, USA
I know I haven’t been updating this website lately, but if you go to my personal blog you’ll know why. Just as a side note before I continue, today is the 701st day I’ve been in China. Since I’ve been so busy since March working my butt off to save money for this trip (so far I have $7000 saved), I’ll give you a preliminary budget and outline for my USA trip:
- July 1: Fly from Wuhan to Shanghai, Shanghai to Los Angeles, Los Angeles to Miami
- August 6-9: Fly from Fort Lauderdale to Chicago to see my friend Ish
- August 14: Fly from Fort Lauderdale to Seattle to see the Twins and Maddy
- August 15: Skydive in Seattle
- August 17: Fly to San Francisco
- August 21: Rent a car and hit the road south to Monterrey
- August 22: Drive to LA
- August 26: Fly from Los Angeles to Shanghai
- August 26: Fly from Shanghai to Wuhan
As I mentioned above, I’ll be coming home with $7000, $2200 of which will be going to pay back my credit card bills (flights and pre-existing charges), thus leaving me with about $4800. My roundtrip tickets (WH-SH,SH-LAX,LAX-FLL,LAX-SH,SH-WH) cost $1800, which I know is a lot, but considering I used only one website to book them all in a row without any hassles, it’s a good deal.
My intent is to spend no more than $2000, and I should be able to stick to that budget since my friend Ish generously offered to cover my expenses (need to look for a cheapppppp flight, anyone?). During the times not specified, I’m free to do whatever I want, and will be seeing as many people in Florida (Miami, Pines, Weston, Davie, Coral Springs, Orlando, Gainesville) as I can. It’s already proving to be a crazy trip.
It’s been 2 very long, trying years that have also been very fruitful and educational. 1 more year to go!

Yeah I was considering it, especially if the rents let me borrow the car, then I’d drive up to Otown, Gville, then to Atl, but chances are not cuz I doubt they wanna pay for a flight. I’m most likely moving back to the US by New Years next year, so I’ll have plenty of time to go to ATL then.
