We are in Beijing!!!!

After getting up at 6 am Friday morning we arrived in Beijing at 330pm on Saturday afternoon. It is now 51opm and we are waiting for our connection to Xi'an and won't be settled until around 5am Canadian time.....10pm or so here. Isabel is fading but has been a trouper and we had an uneventful and pleasant trip. I was very moved when the planes wheels touched ground and I realized it is 5 weeks shy of eleven years ago that she left China safe in our arms. I know she is a totally Canadian girl but it is such a privilege for her to come back and see where she started. I am very grateful we have had this chance and will try to make the most of it. Greetings to everyone and we will post as we can.
