update
Good morning from Beijing! We slept from about 8pm til midnight, got up for a min. looked at the clock and fell back asleep til 2:30am stayed up til 3:30 or so and fell back asleep til right before the alarm at about 7am we feel great right now for a day of touring!! Let's start with the flight, it went well, it was looong but we made it with only a few naps....so up for about 29 hours!! We waitied at the airport after meeting our CCAI guide Cindy, for another family in our group to arrive....we waited by a starbucks haha! We then took the bus ride with our group and Cindy to thehotel, passing lots of bikes and scooter and tons of traffic!! It took about 1 hour 45 min to get to the hotel because of the traffic. Patrick and I dropped our stuff off at the room and bracved crossing the street to get to a little restaurant Cindy told us about....we pointed to the pictures in the menu to order and got some pork steamed buns, a pork quesadilla looking thing and I got a coke while Patrick got his hot water...hahah he tried to order tea, and pointed to the table next to us who had a tea pot we thought....but yup the waitress brought him a tea pot...filled with hot water, no tea mission failed! hahahaha!!! Patrcik is enjoying watching first round coverage of the masters from a few weeks ago, and we have seen some tennis on the tv. We are getting ready for breakfast, and a day of touring let's try to see if I can get some pictures uploaded....
well we tried, no luck will try again later......

Tell Patrick just to find some tea bags and keep them in his pocket than the hot water can be fixed up. You will probably really enjoy the food yummy. Some is very spicy so look out think about you all the time and madison Sks me every five minutes if you have sent anything. She is a neat smart child. Asian babies and children can also be very talented in art and music they to get to know some the people if you show interest in them they are likely to give you a bargain when you try to buy something. Only two more days until you get Morgan. How cool they are probably getting her ready as I write try to take a little something special home for her from her birth land it may come in handy later in her life. Learn what you can while you are there so you can share with her down the road. Love you planning on spending the night in Atlanta around June 12 on our way to grandmas house want to meet morgan
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you and Patrick made it safely! I love the story about the hot water -- LOL -- that's one of many experiences you won't forget! I can only imagine how thrilled you both are to be in China so close to holding your daughter in your arms and bringing her HOME!!! I'll keep checking for updates :)
