We are here!! FINALLY!

That has got to be the longest trip I have ever taken. Marty and I have arrived safely and so did all of our luggage. I am so sorry that I am blogging a little late but we had to try to get some sleep. It is now 5:15 a.m. in Beijing and we are wide awake. We were scheduled to go to the Great Wall this morning at 8:00 a.m. but called and had it changed to 10:00. We did not know that we would be awake. It will take a few days for us to get adjusted to the time change.

I do not have much to blog at the moment. I did take of view pics throughout the day.

This is Marty and Me trying to keep our eyes open in Tokyo.



Our long awaited flight to Beijing was on time!


Yep!! That is the women's toilet. Needless to say I waited in line for the American toilet.
When we arrived in Beijing a beautiful young lady met us named Wynona. She is planning to attend ETBU next semester. She escorted us to our hotel and has arranged our tours for tomorrow and Saturday. She has been a blessing. We look forward to the next two days with her.
I am going to try to get a little more sleep now. I will take plenty of pics today for you so be looking for an update soon.
We love you and thank you for all your prayers and support.

LOL...I forgot to mention their unique toilet system....my Mom absolutely hated it! Be prepared to see people doing things on the side of the street that you wouldn't expect them to be doing. And Stefan said to warn you that it will be windy and cold at the Great Wall.

FYI...I typoed on the above comment so I deleted and began anew.

Wow, Tiff! I learn something new every day. I had no idea they had different toilets... too funny! I would've waited for the American one as well. So glad y'all are over there okay and can't wait to read your next blog!
