We celebrated JR's birthday on Mongolian Summer Time rather than PDT.
You too can play the "what time is it in Ulaanbaator?" game--subtract three hours from PDT, reverse the a.m.'s and p.m.'s and you have the answer. For example, it is now 11:11 pm PDT. I subtract three hours and get 8:11 pm. I switch p.m. to a.m. and get 8:11 a.m. in Mongolia. Simple!
He received lots of typical American snacks to tuck away in his new rolling duffle so that he could have a taste of home when he needed one. Peanut M&Ms, beef jerky, garlic pretzels, and a bag of pink and white circus animals. We've been feeding him lots of fruits and veggies, since that's what he misses most when he travels.
Thanks to everyone who send early bday cards and called to wish the birthday boy a happy day.
He's off and away on a 36 hour trip (!), currently terminal hopping at LAX to find the correct Air China. There's apparently more than one! Who knew? His flight leaves for Beijing at 2 a.m. Yuck. Let's just hope the next birthday present he gets is all his luggage at his destination in Mongolia.
