In Beijing!

Ok! We are in Beijing! We continue to be confused on the time... but we think we've been up for 24 hours (except for some cat naps on the plane ; ) It's 8 pm in Beijing and we'll board a plane for Nanchang soon! That will be our final desitination for now ; )We will get to the hotel in Nanchang (Galactic Peace Hotel is our hotel ; ) We'll be getting Kate TOMORROW!!!! So exciting! The plane was super comfortable and we had a good time (movies, books, etc) but we still had trouble sleeping! I think it's because we're getting Kate ... I think even if I'd been in the most comfortable bed I wouldn't have slept! Just too exciting. We learned to say "thank you" on the plane... but we need to pick up some additional Chinese for sure!

Below are some pictures (in the wrong order!)

 
when we were about to land in Beijing, we saw the sunset - the last time the sun will go down before Kate has a Mommy and Daddy!!


View of Alaskan mountains from plan


Beijing Aiport! It's like a stadium inside!!!



 
Some last pictures in Canada - one with my sister, one with James, one in the hotel while we waited for the sun to rise (we were up super early and the sun rises late there in the winter!)

 
Plane from Vancouver to China! SOOOOOO nice! They gave us these little toiletry bags full of fun stuff. And slippers, super thick blankets, yummy food... so fun!




Rachell from James' office helped me print out these Amazing Race labels and I made us some clues for our trip ; ) it's one of our favorite shows so I surprised James with the clues. He was excited! First clue: Make your way to Nanchang, China ; ) There you will find a beautiful baby girl who needs a Mama and Daddy! Be the first to find her and you will receive a lifetime of blessings!
 
So off we went!!!!
