We are in Beijing! After many hours of traveling (too many to keep track of), we are here! The flight from Minneapolis to Tokyo was very long. We read, watched movies and ate a couple of times. Once we reached Tokyo we switched planes and headed to Beijing. Our hotel is beautiful, the Beijing Peace Novotel. We will be touring tomorrow morning early - our guide is nice and very informative. Of course, Chris is already having a hard time understanding him. We need to get some good sleep - sleeping on the plane is very uncomfortable.
In a week we will have Emma!
Hi Andrea and Chris! Glad to hear you arrived safely and have a nice tour guide.(even if you can't understand him too well-lol). I got a hold of your mom already(she was having breakfast with Donna)and let her know that you arrived in Beijing. She was happy to know you arrived safely. Aunty has been looking up the different touring places that you will be going to.How interesting! My favorite is the Hong Kong Disneyland site! Well, you guys have a good time and get some rest. And cont. to have a safe journey. My love and prayers are with you! All my Love, Aunty Judy Elkington

Great to hear you made it safe and sound. Not long now and she'll be in your arms. Get all the rest you can because I'm sure Em will want quite a bit of attention.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and we'll all be thinking of you. By the way, I'll try to intercept those Hollywood calls and tell them that they sould have signed you earlier when they had their chance. It's too late now, right?
