Ni Hao Beijing

We finally made it, all 13 of us, our 24 checked bags, and our 24 carry-ons! It has been an adventure in itself just trying to keep track of all of the bags filled with donations for the orphanages.

The flight over actually wasn't that bad. We flew Air Canada and they had personal aTVs on the back of the chairs so we could watch a bunch of movies and tv shows. (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never was on there so I was set) ;)

When we got to the hotel we went to dinner at a restaurant right across the street. It wasn't too bad, but definitely not my favorite.. (no steamed bread yet or man-tow as the Chinese say)

Tonight we get to spend our first night in the lovely rock hard beds, yay......... we are all so thankful and grateful that we got here in one piece and safely that I don't really think it matters to us that much at this point, plus we are all so tired from being up for over 24 hours!

Tomorrow we have to be in the lobby at 8 for breakfast and then we will leave at 9 for the airport. At 12 tomorrow afternoon we leave for Changsha where we will stay for one night and then visit the Butterfly House (a small orphanage there) the next day. Then we will head to Chenzhou for the majority of our trip!

Ok, well I am dozing off as I type this, its 9pm here and we are all so tired!! (I'll apologize right now for any typing or grammar errors I have while posting anything on here while I'm in China.) And sorry this isn't too informative or exciting. I'm simply too tired to blog right now. I'll try to post tomorrow night. Thanks for the prayers, keep sending them our way. I love you all & good morning to everyone in the states:)


(In case any of you are confused, this was written last night, but I didn't get to post it until this morning!)
