Travel day one: up at 2:30 (Jon up all night, I think), picked up by Terry at 3:30, no problems checking in at the airport. Problems came when we were on the jetway about to board and were informed that too many people brought little roller suitcases and all in-cabin storage was full. Apparently we could choose between calling Terry back and heading home or allowing the airline (United, by the way) to check our carefully arranged carry-ons all the way to Beijing. After a little philosophical debate with a rushed and harried (by us) flight attendant, we are now travelling fairly foot-loose and fancy free across the world. Just me, my backpack, and my man - and this teeny computer. We are praying we will not be quite so free and unburdened when we get to the baggage claim in China.
Meanwhile, we are sitting having frappes and croissants in the (foggy) city by the bay, watching several families pushing strollers, and getting very excited. Finally on our way!
