Nǐ hǎo from Beijing, CHINA

We just got settled in our hotel room in Beijing.  We are staying at the Radison Blu hotel. The hotel is really nice and we have 3 little beds all lined up next to each other in the room.  We will be in Beijing tonight (it's 1:30 am on March 1st... actually Mom's b-day) and we will be here Friday & Saturday night.  Our guide Amy is delightful and she is so excited and talking about Lottie Lee as Wei Gong Yuan--we asked the meaning of her name and she said Gong translates to open/public and Yuan translates to circle.  

All our flights were on time and worked out perfectly on the international leg we had three seats together in the center of the plane, very nice and we all had our own little TVs..I actually slept for 6-7hrs of the flight, Scott and Abbe slept on and off.  The airport/customs was easy--probably since it was midnight when we arrived.  We did lose one bag, but hope it will be here tomorrow--luckily it contains most of our warm weather clothes which we will not need until next week. 

We are settling in and going to sleep, we have an orientation in the morning and possible quick tour in Beijing.  We will celebrate "Fab Abs" birthday and our first official night in China!  Already in awe of the culture and its people.  Looking forward to sharing tons of video and photos by tomorrow night!!!! We are tired, but so excited and feel so close to our baby..just a few more days til we have her in our arms..actually including tonight and it almost halfway over we only have two sleeps  without our Lottie Lee, beyond excited!!!
