Almost There...3/4 Of The Way!

Well, we just arrived Tokyo, Japan. The flight was great. Long, but very smooth. Our section was full of families with small children, so we settled in real well. We got a glimpse of what it's going to be like traveling with a 15-month old for 13-hours! On the other hand, Elizabeth has been super. It's her first plane ride, so it's exciting to listen to her say things like "I'm ready for take off!" and "Wow, look at that". She's really experiencing everything through those expressive brown eyes. It's 4:15 p.m. local time and we're waiting in the lobby of American Airlines' Admiral's Club. Boy, is this nice. No bottled water, but all the tea and soda you could ask for. We board our final flight to Beijing in about 2-hours. We're flying Japan Airlines and arrive Beijing at 9:00 p.m. local time, Thursday. We haven't slept too much, so we'll be ready for that hotel room! It's amazing how time seems to stand still while you're flying across the planet. Well, time to board the tram to the other terminal.
