We are in Changsha!

Today was a travel day from Beijing to Changsha. We got up early which is very easy since jetlag is still happening. We went to a little airport outside of Beijing. This airport was really small, just 3 departure gates which I think served as arrival gates also. We walked very far on the tarpac to our plane which was an old United airplane still equipped with cigarette ashtrays. They served lunch which consisted of some strange mystery meat on a bun. Tim liked it. Also lunch included a bag of candy made from squid, also according to Tim good. The flight took about 2 hours. Temp in Changsha today reach 103, yesterday was a high of 105, the highest in 5 years. Lucky us. Tomorrow at 10:30 we leave to go to the civil affairs office to receive our daughter. Our hotel room is now equipped with a crib, baby bath, baby bowl and stroller. All is ready, even us! Hope K is ready for us too.

M - we will skype as soon as possible. We love you!
