We Made It.

It has been longer than I expected since our last post but here it is.  We are in Beijing.  I'm not sure there is a much longer flight to anywhere in the world, but if there is I don't want to go there flying economy.  Nothing like 13.5 hours of no leg room, seat backs in your knees and weird odors.  That complaining aside, customs and security couldn't have been easier.  Thanks go to God.

The airport is Beijing is huge.  It didn't look that big when we landed but that's just because it is spread out so much and because the smog doesn't allow you to see very far.  By the way, the EPA would have a field day over here from what I have seen so far.  They are wasting their time in the states.

A set of good news.  We met a couple from Pennsylvania on our flight that are adopting as well and we are staying at the same hotel for a few days.  good to see some friendly faces.

The time change is weird.  I had to jump on the computer this morning to find out what day and time it was.  We left Springfield at 9:30 Tuesday spent a total of about 17 hours in transit and landed here at 3:30 the next day.  So I am up a 1:00 am here blogging.  We have an off day today so we are going to do some sight seeing.  Visiting the wall tomorrow.
