Made it

We made it through our flights, customs and baggage no problem. Our guide was waiting for us once we left baggage claim.

I did not sleep much on the flights but feel pretty good at this point.

We were the first family to arrive of 3 others meeting at this point, so we had to wait a bit until the other families arrived.

I have to say, we have the best traveling boys ever!:)). They both slept a bit on the plane and ate well.

Our guide gave our plans and list of tours while we are in Beijing.  More details later.

Anyway,  we are all checked into our hotel.  It is very interesting.  The rooms are very small and what would be 2 double beds in US is two twin beds in China.  It will be interesting but we will work it out.  We have vowed to roll with it.

Next, we decided to settle in a bit. Let's get out the international electric converter so we can charge phones etc...  Well, Boom!  Power outage.  We had to call the front desk.  We were very surprised.  They understood English well.  And up to the room came a crew checking over everything speaking Manderian.  The front desk staff speak English but not those who service the rooms so we had to point and show them what went wrong in a big charades type act.  I found it quit comical.

Anyway, we are taking all in stride.
Until tomorrow-
Love -
