First Evening Arrival in China

We left Boston's Logan Airport in a hurry! There was mass confusion at the UA desk that we were pulling an "OK Simpson" (running through the airport jumping over suitcases - for those of you who were born after the commercials) to get to our plane. Thank goodness we all got on, but it was close!

The flight from Boston to San Fran was great, UA economy plus in an exit row! Wonderful for a short person like me... The flight from San Fran to Beijing was not as nice, I had a middle seat and no room to breath! We watch 3 movies and had 3 meals... One of the strangest was Noodles to be eaten with Chop Sticks! Very tricky on a plane! But I did it!

THE AIRPORT: The airport is very modern, however the 1st bathroom we hit has one of those EASTERN stalls... Yes kids we talked about just a hole in the ground! The other stalls had WESTERN toilets to me and my friends delight! Dodged a bullet that day... All the bags arrived except 2 of our fellow travelers... One has arrived and one has yet to arrive. It was a 40 min ride to our hotel. See picture. Were were meet with a banner stating welcome Stonehill College Group! They gave us flowers as we got off the bus! Very nice!

We ate Dinner at about 830pm and collapsed in bed about 1030. I was amazed at the amount of food! It tasted WONDERFUL!

Have to go to dinner right now (6:56pm Friday) Plan on adding a lot to the blog later! Miss you all!
