We're finally here! What a long day! We've been up 27.5 hrs with only mini-cat naps. Travel went smoothly for us today. We got to the airport early and were given the opportunity to take an earlier flight. The plane was already there, so we took it. Otherwise we would've had a fairly tight connection in Chicago. Sorry, we missed those of you who were going to meet us. We tried to get word out to you. Two families in our travel group missed their connection in Chicago and will not make it here until the morning. It was snowing in Chicago when we took off so hopefully they will not have any problems leaving. Our hearts were broken for these families. I think I would've balled if it had happened to us.
We checked into our hotel, Guanxi Hotel, gone to the grocery store to get bottled water and are now waiting for Pizza Hut pizza for dinner before we crash. After breakfast in the am, we leave at 8:30 for sightseeing. We're going to the the Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square, and the Great Wall. Our guide Amy said we would not get back to the Hotel until 8:30 tomorrow night. We're pretty tired so, going to sign off for now. God bless. 2 days til Andrew!!
