We Made It

We finally arrived in Beijing after a 2 hr 45min car ride and
13 hr plane ride.

A shot of our ride. :-)

The flight was long but wasn't as bad as I had predicted.  Not too much

sleep for either as the seats weren't very comfortable.  We had three meals

while in the air and no, we didn't get burritos like our friends Deb and Steve.

Instead, we got a cheeseburger in the middle of our flight. 

It was neat to be able track your flight on the tv screen above your folding tray.

We flew out of NJ over Canada and Greenland.  We then flew over the Artic

Circle. Lastly, we flew over Russia and then into China.  I got to see the sun

rise over the Artic Circle.  Very cool!  Will need to get pics on the plane

ride home.

Tomorrow is a tour of Beijing.  Off to force ourselves to eat some dinner and
then hopefully get some rest.  J & D we love you and send hugs your way!
