Well... We Made It!

We are finally here. Last night we stopped in Toyko for two hours before heading on to Beijing. Susan our Chinese guide met us at the airport last night. We were so happy to see her. She recognized us right off. (Surprise, surprise) That seventeen hour plane flight took a lot out of us, but we rested at the beautiful Renaissance Beijing Hotel. This morning we are once again at the airport waiting on our flight to Guangzhou. Short flight, only three hours. Please keep us in your prayers, we are tired and we really haven't even started yet. Love ya, need ya, miss ya! Will and Marla
