We are in Beijing!

We arrived safe and sound in Beijing after an uneventful 14 hour flight.

Our guide met us at the airport and had a driver ready to take us to Beijing. The hotel is great and modern.  The hotel has more than enough free items in the room, including our own personal gas mask:



We are off now to a day of sightseeing (this leg of the trip is really about getting families new to China assimilated before they hand you a child). We'll post some pictures, though I know the pictures you want to see are the ones of Ben, we still have a few days to wait for those..come on Monday!!

Seriously, A gas mask? Hysterical!!! If it is indeed free (no hidden costs) It would make a great Halloween Costume!! LOL!! Normally, I wouldn't wish a weekend away, but for you I will wish it goes SUPER Fast so Monday comes!!!!

Never thought I would see a gas mask in a hotel room. I am so glad you had a safe trip there. Praying for you every day.

Well, that's a new one! Let's hope you won't need the gas mask, eh? Glad you arrived safe and sound! Can't wait until you meet Ben!
