Thursday - We're Off!

Hi all - it is early Thursday morning and we are off to breakfast to ready for an 8:15 meeting in the lobby with our guide and the other family that leaves today. Our first flight to Beijing is not until 12:30, but the other family leaves first at 11 so we all are taking a van together to the airport. Yesterday was uneventful-- Late breakfast and a trip to the shopping street to purchase more baby wipes at the department store. I did packing and Libby took and afternoon nap and it was rainy - which is actually nice because there is actually a blue sky afterwards. At 4:30 Becky our guide called at had Libby's visa and paperwork in the lobby. I met up again with Rose and family and went for short walk and early dinner at the 3rd of the Chinese restaurants recommended by Becky, and I think this was the best. Some more pictures, maybe including Libby enjoying ice cream. Think of us today - and tomorrow! - as we are on our long marathon journey home. 12:30 flight to Beijing (3 hours); layover in Beijing; 6-ish flight from Beijing to Dulles - arrive as new American citizen Thursday night!
