"Not flesh of my flesh, Nor bone of my bone, But still miraculously my own. Never forget for a single minute,You didn't grow under my heart- but in it"

We are in China!

We had a fabulous quiet smooth 11hour flight last night on Air China. We waited in the wrong line at LAX for China Airlines for an hour. We didn't figure it out until we were THE NEXT IN LINE!! Luckily we had a 5 hour layover and we walked right up to the Air China counter with no wait.

How do you make an 11 hour flight seem faster? Tell people that it is supposed to take 12 hours! That plane was booking and we got in an hour early. I always get a kick about going up over Alaska too. We ate two full meals on that plane, both delicious with rice...mmmm.

I started taking pictures and I need to figure out the best way to upload them and get them on here... I'm finally getting excited to meet An Qi. There is so much stuff to do in the weeks, days, hours before the trip it all gets overwhelming. Now that we are here, we get to be tourists for a few days as we look forward to meeting her. Holt got us some last-minute party gift requests from her for her friends that we were able to grab in Austin, so that worked out.
