arrival in China

Lily enjoys a ride with the luggage

It is 3am China time and we are all wide awake, all of us except Daddy who has ear plugs in and a pillow over his head.  Travel all went well and after 14.5 hour flight we were ready to get off the plane.  Unfortunately that just lead us to the long line of “foreigners” waiting to pass through immigration.  The line snaked around several time and Luke was on his “I’ve got so much energy I might explode mode.”  We passed the inspection point and collected our luggage and made it out of security into the huge crowd waiting to connect with passengers.  Luke spotted Daddy first and I spotted the guy holding the John and Karen Prescott sign.
Our hotel room is ultra-modern.  There is a glass wall separating the bathroom from the sleeping area.  Once you turn on the light the wall turns opaque.  There is a TV above the tub that doubles as a mirror when turned off.  Daddy had lots of snacks and noodles in a bowl so we decided to get by on that for dinner. 
This morning we will head back to the airport for the short flight to Nanchang.  We will have time to get settled in before meeting Jing Yi tomorrow.  When Lily woke me up this morning at 1:30am she said was just too excited to sleep.
