After many hours on a plane, going over the North Pole, Artic Ocean and International Time Line, we are here. It is 4:20 in the afternoon (8/29) here and it's drizzling rain. Our hotel is nice. The beds are about the size of a twin size bed, so we are really glad that we got the boys their own rooms. Of course, they had managed to lock themselves out of it after being here only 10 minutes.
We had 3 other families on the plane that are adopting. Everyone is going to different provinces to get their children, so on Sunday we will all say good bye until it's time to meet back in Guangzhou.
The flight was not too bad. The plane was not full, so we were able to move about easy. The food was average, but I have to say all of the service from the United staff has been exceptional, starting in Nashville at the ticket counter. I am hopeful that it will be as nice on the way home.
Well, I'm about to wander on to the streets of Beijing and go to the Walmart here. Nothing says welcome like eels and turtles in the aisles.
We love you all and please continue praying for us.
