May 21, 2004

We had a great flight of daylight the entire trip of 14 hours from San Francisco to Beijing. The view was beautiful. We landed in Beijing around 5P.M. We were met at the Airport by Marion, our CCAI representative and Shiney our Beijing tour guide. The very first thing we did was get our luggage and exchange our U.S. dollars for Chinese Yuan. Walking out to the bus, we were very excited to see the very, very large Official Olympic Torch beside the airport.

We were so amazed how beautiful our hotel was. We stayed in the Gloria Plaza Hotel. We got very little sleep on the plane so we were very tired and ready for bed.

Next Day...
