Oddly enough, our plane flew North from Dulles, straight over the North Pole, then crossed down over Russia to land in Beijing.
Upon arriving, a few officials from the Department of Public Health boarded the airplane wearing masks and took the temperature of every single person on the airplane. But we all passed, and are now safely at the hotel, not in quarantine. Swine flu will not spoil this trip!
We are getting settled at the hotel, and will venture out for dinner before returning for a Skype date with Miranda (who fed her daddy a virtual beer last night), and then crashing for the night.
Thanks for all the good wishes! So far, so good!

ReplyDeleteSo great to hear you arrived safely in China...hope you slept well and looking forward to reading about your adventures in the next few days!
ReplyDeleteI am sure each day will be an adventure. I am so happy for you guys. It will be great to hear about all the events leading up to Phoebe's arrival home.
ReplyDeleteWe are thrilled to hear the trip was uneventful! Miranda, Claire, Will and Gabe had such a great visit with each other. Claire loved having a little girl around and even Will showed a different kind of tenderness toward his baby GIRL cousin than he does his baby brother. Gabe had a blast -- even with being scolded on a regular basis by Miranda -- "No Gabe"! We wish their visit could have been longer!
ReplyDeleteI have posted a sticky note on my computer to guide me to the blog each day! Good luck with the jet lag and coping with all the anticipation these final days!!! Love you -- Lauren
