Beijing Bound




Well this is it. Tomorrow morning we head off to China. We are fully packed. We are bulging out of our bags. We are trying to have a restful night at home before the big trip but, as you can imagine, it's pretty hard to calm down and get to sleep. It would be nice to get a full night's sleep, though.

A few people have asked about our return to the US, so here's a synopsis. Our flight out of Norfolk is at 9am tomorrow morning and three flights later we will arrive in Beijing at 9am EST (9pm China time). Our flight back from Detroit (NW1452) arrives in Norfolk at 7pm on Sept 5th. Anyone is welcome to come say hi to Tyson when we arrive but I must warn you that we will be zombies. 24 hours of travel will have that effect on the living. My next post will be from Beijing. Even if we are begining to turn into the living dead I will try to post our safe arrival. Until then...

give susan and allison a big hello for us (don't hug them, that's not very chinese!) and if you see shawn johnson, you can give her a hug from me! i cannot wait to hear the tales from your journey - it is only just beginning!!! and i PROMISE there will be some tales (starting with how awfully uncomfortable northwest planes are!)
