We made it to China at about 7:00pm, which is 3am PST. After 18 hours of flight time and a 3-hour layover in Chicago, we made it! The flights were not bad, pretty uneventful. On the 14-hour flight from Chicago to Beijing, we were served dinner, breakfast and 2 snacks, so we definitely didn't starve! Angela slept for about 2 hours and Scott didn't sleep at all. By the time we got to our hotel, we had been up for over 24 hours! Our hotel is the Inner Mongolia Grand and it is very nice. It is a 5-star hotel and we have been impressed so far! We will have to remember not to drink the water!
Tomorrow we will tour Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and on to a Hutong tour of the city. Our guide Flora is a very nice girl and we are excited for her to be able to show us around. The weather here is cold. It's 30-40 degrees, so about the same as Klamath. We brought layers to be able to stay warm here in Beijing!
We are so excited to meet Sydney in 4 short days, but in the meantime will enjoy every moment of our adventure here in Beijing!
Will post pictures tomorrow of our first day in Beijing.
