We are finally at our hotel in Beijing after 26+ hours of travel! Everything went well - when we were at the airport in Phoenix, just after going through checkpoint security, an announcement came over the PA system reminding us of 911 and asked everyone to take a moment of silence. We were at a food court type of area and it was though time stood time. Everyone stopped in their tracks and it was silent for about 2-3 minutes. Pretty cool.
Going through the airport in Toyko was really easy... way easier than we thought it would be. Everything is labeled in English under the characters. Getting from gate to gate is easier than in the States! We saw are first strange toilet and I just couldn't resist taking a picture of it! Coming into Beijing was a snap too. After we went through customs our guide was right there with a sign ready to take us to our hotel. Another family from our group was on the Toyko flight, so we piled into this interesting looking white van (sorry didn't get a pic) and drove 45 mins to our hotel.
Tomorrow is a big day of sight seeing. We won't get back to our room until late evening after our Duck dinner! We have to eat breakfast and meet our whole travel group in the hotel lobby in 9 hours, so I'm going to get some much needed sleep and sign off. The rest of the family is already crashed. Thanks for your prayers for safe travels!
