Well, my bags are packed and I'm ready to go....

I'd better be careful, or I'll start singing!  We are waiting for our limo to take us to the airport.  We'll be in Beijing on Thursday evening.  We lose a day going there and gain it back again when we return.  I'm surprisingly calm.  I'm glad that we are able to leave later in the day.  It makes for a much more peaceful day!  Hopefully, the next time I post, we'll be in Beijing.  Last time we went to China, though, we had a VERY long delay at the airport before we could even take off.  Praying that doesn't happen this time.
