We finally lifted off at 4:00 in another
plane….not too bad. At the airport
Maureen met a bunch of parents of former students who were leaving on the Air
China plane at the same time as we were supposed leave. And on the same plane we were on was someone
I knew, Eric the strings teacher from Waverley.
We landed at the Beijing airport at about 6pm
Sunday China time….about 4am BC time.
David, our new best friend and tour guide for
Beijing and Xian met us and took over after we went through customs and
baggage. He got us on the bus and checked us into our
hotel, the Beijing Doubletree Hilton, making sure everyone was settled…..Mareen
and I on the 7th floor and Carol and Barb on the 11th
floor.
We finally turned off the light at about 6:30
am BC time making it 24 hours since we got out our beds in Canada……but making
it only 10:30 pm in China….so hopefully a full night sleep. Meeting at 8:30 am to start our first day of
touring.
