The last few days were very busy. On Wednesday we were lucky that Edward and Jacqueline cut their vacation short and came and helped us finish packing up our kitchen. We would never have finished without them. Wednesday late afternoon we drove to Calgary and had a farewell supper with Jeremy and Edward and their families (Chinese food). Edward drove us to the airport in Calgary on Thursday morning and we left Calgary about noon. After changing planes in Vancouver we were on our way. I expected to fly right out across the Pacific Ocean but instead we followed the west coast of Canada north up to Alaska, crossed over part of Alaska and the Bering Strait, and then followed the coast of Siberia and China right down to Beijing. We made it to Beijing with only one missing suitcase (which showed up here on Saturday evening) but our flight to Nanjing was cancelled. Air China put us up in a hotel overnight and we caught a morning flight to Nanjing.
It has been pouring rain ever since we got here. We will wait for the sun to shine before we take pictures.

We are so glad you made it there safely.
Congratulations on your arrival. I hope the sun shines soon. I would love to see some pictures.
I can almost feel the humidity! I thought alot about your exciting adventure today as I drove combine and Carter took turns between combine and Uncle Brads new semi and trailer. I am looking forward to some pictures of your accomodations and the streets of the city. Take care. I will have a swig (1/2 litre) of Dr. Pepper on your behalf tonight Granny.
