Well, we officially made it and survived the 14 hour flight and 1 hour van ride to hotel. You haven't lived until you have driven in China. Special thank you to Emalee for hooking us up with "gotrusted.com" so we could get to our blog.
Flights were all good, no real delays. Me and Tiff got about 6+ hours of sleep on the flights and Morgan got a few hours as well. I don't think David slept at all so they are calling it an early evening.
Me and Tiff ventured out on the streets and found a KFC. Tiffs words "well it's food". It wasn't that bad and the guy at the counter did speak english. The popcorn chicken is very spicy, at least for me. Total cost for both of us was $6.04 US.
After this I let Tiff experience a chinese grocery store. It was a smaller one so no real crazy things like chickens hanging in the meat section or anything like that. We picked up (2) 20oz. Cokes and some Chocolate Oreos (these are my all-time favorite Chinese food). Total cost: $10 yuan (about $1.55 US) compared to $38 yuan for a 12 oz. can of Coke in the hotel.
That is about it for today. Tomorrow we meet our guide at 8:00 am in the lobby to visit the Forbidden City, Lunch (probably at Friendship store), and the Great Wall.
Thank you again to all of you for your prayers!
China Team out.
