For those of you who have been wanting to follow our journey, we apologize for not being able to post another entry sooner. While we were in Beijing we were not able to get access to the internet due to what turned out to be a bad connection at the hotel. Toby made several attempts and spent a couple of precious hours (which could have been better spent catching up on sleep) trying to get access to the internet. Now that we are in Guangzhou and have an excellent connection, we know that the problem was the connection in our hotel room in Beijing.
Despite this one frustration, our trip so far has been wonderful. Our travel from Dallas to Beijing went without a hitch. In the first picture, you see a picture of Suzy, Nathan, and Audrey just before Toby and Suzy left for the airport. We love you guys and miss you a whole bunch! In the second picture, you can see Toby trying to make a few last minute calls in order to get out of town. After those calls were finished, both of us had nothing that we could be doing other than wait for the plane. It was the first time in a very long time that either of us could say that, and the smile on Suzy's face in the third picture says it all. The last picture is of us when we landed at the Beijing airport, glad to finally be in China after starting this process over two years ago.
