Touchdown! Its 11:30pm here in China and we are finally settling in. The flight over was long of course, but we couldn't stop glancing at each other and cackling with glee. The plane was very old school, I'm talking 70's with the retro seats and no air vents, but the seat belts worked... sort of... as long as you held on to them tightly. The staff was awesome, all smiles. The Beijing Airport is just unbelievable. I've never been inside a space so huge or so vastly beautiful. The customs fella wasn't too into his job at 10pm though. He just grunted a bit and waved us on. We were met outside customs by Sim who will be our guide while in Beijing (I'll get a picture of him tomorrow) and Mari who is doing all of our inter China Adoption paperwork. They are both SO nice! We couldn't see much of the city at night as we drove in, but boy we sure did get to experience the traffic! Oi! I've got divots in my arm from Dee digging into them with her nails. We are heading off to bed after a quick shower and hopefully we will get a bit of sleep in there as well. We are looking forward to Tiananmen Square in the morning as well as getting to know the other 2 couples in our travel group that are still waiting on their luggage to arrive (All ours got here in one piece). Thanks for following along! ~Dave and Dee |

I specifically prayed for your luggage to safely accompany you on all the legs of your journey! Glad one trip that prayer was answered so far ;o)
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you with the China Daily News. Great photo for Ella's Life Book! You could cut top off the page for the headline in the life book too.
