Just a quick note to say that we arrived Thursday, 2/14 around 3:30 p.m. local time after crossing the international date line. So as went to bed to end that day, it was just starting for you. I believe we're about 14 hours ahead of Texas time (CST).
We're staying at the Novotel Peace Hotel in Beijing with plans to tour Tiananmen Square and Forgidden City tomorrow, then the Great Wall day after.
We're on the 13th floor, no superstitions here, thankfully. However, I thought US hotels didn't have a 13th.
Just wanted to let you know we're safe and the travel went as well as could be expected. In other words, no major complications. Maybe an inconvenience here or there.
Beijing is quite accommodating to English speak.
Will update you more later.
As you can tell, I wrote the above yesterday and am just now posting it...
Well, all woke up at 3 a.m. local time and can't sleep anymore. We're bouncing off the walls. Apparently we went to sleep earlier than we originally thought.
It's now 5:15 a.m. and we're getting ready for a 6 a.m. breakfast. Did you ever hear of us being up and ready to go at that time?
We're touring today and hope to post photos and updates tonight.
Talk to you soon.
