It even arrived over an hour early. Things we are thankful for: Free upgrade to ecomomy plus, smooth flying, no problems at either airports. We met a couple other families in the airport and on the plane. We are kind of easy to pick out of a crowd.
It took about an hour to get to our hotel from the airport. Traffic was like a typical day in Chicago mulitplied by 50. This hotel is beautiful and the neighborhood looks sort of upscale. We took a walk around after we got settled in, pretty much like downtown anywhere.
After dinner at the hotel restaurant, (I know, lame) we decided to turn in. At that point our bodies were telling us it was 5 am, although local time said 7ish. Soooo I am typing this on WordPad at 4:30 am because I can't sleep. Jet lag. Let's hope we kick it tomorrow.
We have to investigate our internet problems. Waaaay too tired before bed to call someone to fix it, but either they need to activate our rooms cable connection, or something else is up. Long story short, if you're reading this, we got it fixed!!
Tomorrow, after breakfast we leave for our day of touring. This includes the Great Wall and Cloisonne factory.
OK, I got this working, don't know how! Noodles for breakfast, also, asparagus and some saugsage looking things, eek!!
Shannon & Austin:
We flew over the North Pole and the Arctic Ocean. The weather outside the plane was like 70 degrees below zero!!! We love you and miss you like crazycakes! Mom & Dad
