Shanghai to home (December 28, 2019 - January 2, 2020)

We spent several days with our family at end of year 2019 before flying back home to LAX on January 1, 2020. We had further travel plans for April 2020 and beyond. During the time in Shanghai, I had read about a mysterious illness in Wuhan. I was hoping that this illness would not spread to Shanghai. We spent the next few days riding metro around town, having meals with family and even visited Shanghai Disneyland. Little did we know, the flight we took on January 1, 2020 will be the last flight we took for some time to come.
