Where are here...!!!!!

This will be a QUICK post for now to let everyone know that we have arrived in Beijing, save and sound....!!!! Trip was great....in all honesty, the 13 hour flight just FLEW bye...(yeah, right...!!) In all seriousness, Zach was fantastic on the plane....even if his portable DVD player was inadvertently left on prior to getting on the plane....resulting in NO battery for the entire trip....but, rolled withe punches, made due, watched movies on computer, played games, etc....long, long LONG day...left Mansfield at 5:30 a.m., and with the time change for China more or less was settled in our hotel room at 5:30 a.m, EST time...(yup, 24 Hour of LeMans got noting on us...!!) Hotel is great......we went out for dinner as group last night....crashed at 8:00 PM Beijing time, and course, due to change in time wide awake at 3:30 a.m.....did fall back to sleep.....just grabbed some breakfast, and taking Zach for a swim.....we meet in lobby at around 10.....today, visiting Forbidden City and Tianamen Square.....so far, trip has been great.....and, who needs sleep anyways???? Best wishes to family and friends who are reading this, and will write a longer 'blog' tonight........
