The Beginning of the Trip

We are finally in the hotel. I thought that I was going to DIE on the 12 hour flight! But we still made it.

We had to stop in my birth country (Japan) for our connecting flight to Beijing . In that time I bought 2 souvenir key chains and a bowl of ramen noodles. I had a lot fun before our 3 hour flight. We got to Beijing at about 9:30 pm.

We get Johnathan on Monday. And we 're going to the Great Wall TOMORROW.

  5. Yeah!! You made it, the rest of the trip is fun and more fun. Isn't that just the longest flight ever??? You are doing a great job with the blog, keeping us all up to date, I love the pictures with your dad. Have fun on the Great Wall, bet you might be the only kid in your class who has ever been there. You and your dad might make it all the way to the top part, maybe even your mom, though us moms sometimes have to conserve our energy to stay beautiful and sweet! Have fun in Beijing, get used to the time change, and save some hyper-ness to play with Jonathan.

  6. Dear Jack,
    Sounds like you're having a great time and have seen so much. I really enjoy your emails; you do a great job of describing China from your perspective.

    It also sounds as though you have been a big help with Johnathan and have already become good friends. I am sure it makes a difference to him. Love Grandpa
