Packed

The cameras are packed or I would take pics of our luggage. We did good, only checking 3 bags. Our flight is at 6am tomorrow, so we have to get up early. We fly into Chicago, have a 5 hour-ish layover, and then hop on the plane to Beijing. There are a couple of other families that will be on the same flight, so hopefully we can identify each other and chat a bit. The flight from Chicago is about 14-15 hours. We logged in to do the online check-in and got upgrade options for the seats, which we took. Economy upgrades to Economy Plus, woooooooooo. Actually it gives us more leg room, so that will be nice. We should get to Beijing about 4:30pm local time, and then we find our guide and go to the hotel. I have my proxify account setup, so I should be able to by-pass the "Great Firewall of China" and post to the blog and get everywhere else when we get settled in. The worst part of all this is we had to leave the baby-boy at home with the grandparents. Its very depressing, but we will be plenty busy within the next day or so, and we get girlie-girl on 11/23. We just want to get there and see that she is ok, and there are no additional issues. We have skype and webcams setup so we can talk to the son here, and show off the new kid. Ok, its late, we're going to go take a nap now so we can get up and get ready in a few hours.
