Mom's Travel Woes My moms in China for business, She can't eat eggs or bird Due to infamous bird flu. The time zone is really off, My friend once told me, when #life gives you lemons, Throw them back and ask for cookies. That's what my mom did. Business class on the plane was full. She took first class instead. The hotel had run out of rooms. She got to stay at an apartment instead. Same price. If only we all had that luck.
