We've been packing today and are anxious for our trip to Beijing tomorrow. Mr. Yu and Sophia are just as excited about our trip as we are. And not just because they will be off of work for 3 days. Sophia has been telling us about the weather. Its cooler up north, we need to pack a sweater. She's told us tales about the Great Wall and the Hutongs.
Mr. Yu is doing all he can to ensure we make it to the airport on time. Today he said "tomorrow airplane leave at 9 o'clock." I said yes. He said, "be at airport 7:30." I said yes. He said, "leave your home 6:30." I said yes. He said that previously for domestic flights you just needed to be at the airport 30 min before your flight. Now you need to be there one and half hours early. He also warned that liquids are not aloud in our carry on luggage.
What would we do without our faithful locals by our side? Actually we are quite appreciative of all they do for us. Sometimes I really don't think we could make it here without them.
We'll be away for a few days, but will be back soon with pictures and stories to share.
