It was a long day but we just made it to our hotel in Beijing a little bit ago. Was able to get internet access for 38 yuen per day. We were up at 3 a.m., friday (Phx time) or for 26 hours now.
It is raining here and supposed to snow tonight- by the way, it doesn't snow in Beijing. It looks like it will clear up but be cold for the next two days of sightseeing.
Met three of the other families from my agency and they are all very nice. The remaining five families will be here in a few hours.
I'll post some photos tomorrow after our first day around Beijing.
Advice for those who follow: if you fly United, upgrade to the Economy Plus. It was only $299 per two people but worth the extra leg space. Also, for any luggage you will be carrying on, make sure that you have a piece with wheels (you can always stack a duffle on top). There is a lot of walking around and waiting in line - no over the shoulder bags.

So glad you are in China! I tracked your flight yesterday and was filled with excitement as you got closer and closer. Can't wait to see pictures. Oh, glad it is not rainy. :)

Glad you guys made it safe and sound! Thanks so much for the luggage tips!
Enjoy (chilly) Beijing!
So glad you are safely in Beijing, but how strange it might snow? Oh well, you can tell Ava all about that since she won't know what snow is living in Sottsdale, AZ! ;)
Thanks for the travel tips too. Get some rest - your angel will be in your arms very soon! YEAH!:)
Michele, so glad you guys got in safe and sound. Guess the economy plus seats worked out well with the extra room. That must have been a life saver on the flight.
By now you are touring all the sites in Beijing. Hope your having a great time and getting lots of photos for Ava's lifebook.
You're SOOO close to Miss Ava now...you must be SO excited!
Looking forward to your next update.
Donna :)
