Here we are...

Well, we are here after a 13 hour flight. I wonder if it ever occurred to anyone in the Chinese tourist office that they would have a lot more business if they moved this country closer to the U.S?

Other than a long flight and the worst movie selection in forever, everything is fine. The Beijing airport may be the biggest in the world - I swear we walked further from the gate to baggage claim than some half marathons I've run. Then, traffic was awful as it was rush hour, but we finally got here, the hotel is very nice with a great view of the city. We are exhausted, so we'll just hit the sack tonight and leave sightseeing for later.

Tomorrow, we are taking the tour to see the Forbidden City, Tianammen (sp?) Square and anywhere else they take us.
