We made it. We're here!!! Hello from China!! This is a picture from our hotel room in Beijing.
Today was a very long day. We got to Bradley airport a couple hours early, then when we were leaving Chicago we were delayed at the gate for about 3 hours. There was a problem with the baggage apparatus, and then a person got sick, all before take off.
Once up in the air, it was smooth traveling. The flight was really long, we watched 4 movies. We flew north out of Chicago for a few hours, up over Queen Elizabeth Islands, then just north of Alaska, and down through Siberia. There was a lot of frozen glacial looking features below for hours and hours.
The buildings here are really neat, most of them have lights on the outside. We are just settling in for the night.
Tomorrow we are going sight seeing and Tuesday we're going to the Great Wall.
Two more days until we meet Lindsey!!!

Kimmy and Chris,
I'm so glad you're there and can rest up and see some sights!
The picture you posted gives a good idea of your surroundings. How cool!
You are one more day closer to your little girl!
I'm thinking of you constantly!
Love, "Auntie" Cheryl
Hi Kim,
You're finally there!!!!! Isn't it amazing seeing all the people on bikes? Wait till you get to Hefei! You get to enjoy all the culture and excitement of seeing things that are so overwhelming. You'll need it to pass the time until Lindsey is in your arms. I'm so looking forward to checking you site daily! I'm reliving these moments through you!
Fondly,
Sandy Fraioli
