Thursday-Friday,
July 19-20, 2012
Our 3:00am alarm clock started our journey to Sadie. We arrived
at the mostly empty Lexington airport with plenty of time for
our 6:00am departure to Chicago when at check-in we were
informed that our flight was cancelled. Not the way we wanted to
day to start, but another airline had just enough empty seats to
accommodate us and get us to Chicago for our nice long 6 hour
layover. The flight to Beijing went off without a hitch. We were
worried about the kids on the 13 1/2 hour flight, but they were
both champs and did remarkably well. No sleep for mom and dad on
the plane however, so our arrival into Beijing was less than
energetic. A frantic taxi ride to the hotel, a walk to the
supermarket for necessities, and a quick stop at Pizza Hut ended
our day. Hoping for some good rest tonight to be ready for
sight-seeing in the morning.

Hoping this was not a trend we would see on our trip. |
