 Packing was difficult. When flying in China you are have a weight limit of 44 pounds of luggage that you can check. You can have one carry-on and one personal item. |
 I will not see Mr. Smith for 2 full weeks. I know we will miss each other. |

 This is what the moon looked like the morning we left. Do you suppose the moon looks the same in China? |

Continental International Flight CO 89 August 1-2, 2007 |
|||
 We travelled on a very big airplane. It had 9 seats in each row. |
 Each seat had a mini-television screen. You could watch television or play video games. That helped to pass the time. |
 They fed us well on the plane. We had lunch and 2 snacks, plus plenty to drink when we got thirsty. |
|
 Miss Cloonan couldn't wait to eat! |
 Miss Harrison was enjoying the food! |
 |
|
 We had to fill out many documents to gain entry into a foreign country. Without these we would not be permitted in. |
 I needed to use information from my passport to fill out some of the information. |
 Lisa, our guide in Beijing, met us at the airport. We found her when we saw the sign that she was holding. |
