Just wanted to let everyone know that we made it after being delayed in Chicago for one night. Our flight on thursday from Chicago to Beijing was overbooked and we couldn't get seats. So we had to spend the night in Chicago and leave on friday. Several other people with our group also were unable to get seats, so we were not alone. Mom and Dad's luggage was sent on to Beijing without them on thursday, but luckily they had the guide in China pull the luggage when the first group came in on friday.
Jennifer got to celebrate her birthday in Chicago. She had a birthday cake with candles and had the rest of our group there to help her celebrate her birthday. We have a really good group of people and enjoyed the extra time to get to know them. So, some good did come from being left in Chicago besides being compensated for our trouble of losing our seats on the flight.
Tomorrow we will be going to the Great Wall of China. Looking forward to that. Then tomorrow afternoon we will fly on down to Kunming. Then on monday morning, we will meet Meigan!!
Beijing is a hugh place with lots of people and cars. We did see a McDonalds and a KFC.
We're really tired, so ready to go crash for the night. Have to be up early in the morning. Will try to send pictures later in the week.
