We have arrived in Beijing!! it is almost midnight here on Thursday and we left Detroit Wednesday at noon. Loooong day. It is the last day of their New Year celebration and it ends with a lantern festival and lots of fireworks. We can hear and see many of them from our hotel room, but I don't think they will keep us awake tonight. Big day tomorrow, lots of sights to see in 2 days before we head to Guangzhou. We should have pictures posted before the end of the day. Thank you all so much for your well wishes and prayers. We are days away from our prayers being answered.

So glad that you arrived safely! Have a wonderful time in Beijing! Please tell Jane hello from "Golden Boy" and "Jade Girl" (that's what she called us when she was our guide in October.)
