Arriving in Beijing!

We got to Beijing in one piece. We were very lucky to have gotten some great seats for TJ on the flights here. We got the exit seats each and every time!!!! TJ even let out a huge cheer on the one to last flight to Beijing...lol It's been a very long day of flights and we are very tired. We met everyone in our group and they all seem very nice. We are heading out tonight to Pizza Hut to get some food before crashing for the night. We have a free day tomorrow to exchange money and see the park. We will take it easy tomorrow night as we have to leave at 5am to get our next flight to Chongqing. Since I'm not the morning person we will be going to bed really early...lol We'll check in again tomorrow night to touch base.

Yeah!!! I would love to see TJ strolling the streets of Beijing. What a sight. :) It's crazy that you are close enough to count the hours until you get to put your arms around Reagh. Can't wait to hear more.

Hope you are able to catch up on some sleep and the jet lag doesn't affect you too bad!

Wow, you are almost at the end of the rainbow (sorry that sounds a little cheesy!) I have been following your blog as a lurker for years and am super-thrilled for your family. I am looking forward to seeing your first photos as a family of three!

Congrats!!! Such an exciting day!!! We too went to Chongqing Dec. 2010 to get our daughter Rachael. Our guides name was Charlie, yours? If the same guy say hello from Jana and Doug, Rachael Toth. Enjoy all your days in China, I wished it did not go so fast. Slow motion would have been better. Enjoy your little man he is beautiful. What hotel are you staying at?
