The Sanzas have made it here safe and sound. Thanks SO much for all your prayers! When we boarded the plane in San Francisco to Beijing, we got to have extra leg room for sitting in the emergency isle! Wow, you really dont appreciate legroom until you've been in a plane for 15 hours. That was a REALLY long flight! Hannah did well and I think I was the only one that did not sleep. I am ready to drop right now, but wanted you all to know we are doing great! Our bus ride from the airport to the hotel was only 20 minutes or so..and our hotel is very nice with GREAT internet service! Hannah has already seen the pool and can't wait to go swimming. It has been great meeting lots of people in our travel group. Our agency said it is the biggest group yet, and we have set a record! The weather here is perfect except very thick with smog. Tonight after unpacking we went to a local walmart here. I was overwhelmed as this one had TWICE as many people as the Sherman Walmart! I could not get my cart down any of the isles. Anyway, tomorrow we will do alot of sightseeing and Sunday is the Great Wall! Monday, we meet Ty Le Sanza! I will post more pics tomorrow as I can hardly keep my eyes open! Thanks again for your prayers!

I thought about you guys all day yesterday. I kept looking at the clock and wondering where you guys were at that particular time.
SOOO excited for you guys! Can't wait to see the little guy when you get back, it's gonna be a wild ride. Did Hannah get to play with her High School Musical stuff on the way?
MAJOR question: do they have Starbucks there? If so, you've gotta buy me a souvenir from there!
Blessings on you guys, we're all praying for a great trip.
