This day has finally come and we are on our way. We started out in South Bend and ended up, hours and hours later in Beijing. Man, it was a long flight!
In South Bend, Mom and Dad (Karen's parents) hung out with us until we left for our next leg to Detroit. So far, the hardest time we had was at "security." The people working security in South Bend, were very patient and helpful. It's just that we had to pratically unpack and repack our carry-ons. It was a true art form to get everything packed in the first place.
We had a wonderful time in Detroit's airport during our first layover. Detroit's airport looked more like a Disney themepark, than an airport. It was even equipped with an elevated tram that kept running on a regular schedule. In Detroit, we managed to get in a final, good old-fashioned American cheeseburger and fries. Then it was off to Tokyo and finally Beijing. This was such a long flight. But it went wonderfully.
Finally, Tuesday at 9:25 PM Beijing Time, we arrived and went to our hotel and crashed out to get some rest.
