Travel Day

10 am from Chicago... We had a good night sleep in Nashville and then left at 5:00 am for the airport. Check in went fine except that mine and Jillian's shared suitcase was too heavy so was going to cost $200 extra! Rob starting unzipping and rearranging/cramming stuff into other bags and we
finally made it with no overage! The agency warned us to pack light and I tried, but how on earth do you pack light for three weeks in China?? The flight from Nashville to Chicago was smooth and we are now sitting in our terminal waiting for the next flight. We are supposed to leave at 12:08 on a 777 air bus. Praying for safe travels!

May 17, 5pm We arrived in Beijing and were greeted at the airport by George, our very kind agency rep who brought us to our hotel. It is about 4am at home as we Beijing is 13hours ahead. We had a smooth flight but got little more than a couple hours sleep here and there, so we are exhausted. We watched lots of movies between naps, and are hoping for a good nights sleep since there is a lot of touring scheduled for tomorrow starting at nine am. Oh I almost forgot that Rob got stopped at immigration and asked why he was in China. When he answered "adoption"they didn't understand and he got held up for a while as Jilli and I were nervously waiting on the other side!!
We just checked in and walked down the street to get some McDonalds and now are enjoying our lobby before heading to bed! Hope everyone at home is having a great day!
