We made it!


I'll keep this short and sweet...because it's Wednesday evening in China and I haven't gotten good sleep since Sunday night. We made it to Beijing. The trip was almost seamless, except for an hour-long delay in the Beijing airport with the quaratine facility. Kira was running a very mild temperature, and that seemed to be a good enough reason to keep her in a small room for an hour. Once Kira rejoined us, we headed to the baggage claim to find our bags in the lost and found. From there, we were picked up by a couple of friends who took us to our hotel...only to be greeted by our old friend Kelley! She graciously helped us check in to our hotel and find some authentic Chinese food to eat. After all that....we're all extremely tired! Hopefully we can get some good rest and gear up before we head out for a full day tomorrow.
It's official. I need to go to bed. More detailed updates coming later...
